Somebody call 911!...Its lights out and the winner in the gray trunks is Mohamed Grayhairs Ali.Float like a butterfly sting like a bee. Wow! I use to have a problem with pseudonyms until it was pointed out to me by a very straight shooter how much he was harassed by phone calls and threats to his family etc by nut cases who disagreed with his very honest point of view and resented his comments because it was affecting the direction of a particular stock in which they had substantial positions on the short side.Since that incident the individual I am referring to switched to a pseudonym.This is a very strange world and some desparados will do anything if it affects their personal wealth. It is rumored that when the Bre X situation unfolded John Kaiser received death threats because of is insistence that there was no gold in Busang. It is a free country and until the authorities outlaw the use of alias on the internet we should respect the choices made by the contributors. Case Closed. Now lets help each other reach our financial objectives.Heres to Tusk being added to the TSE 100 index in the year 2000! Grayhairs have a good evening.It appears you wont need to take your Geritol for a while. Richard B. Pseudonym?

Still kicking here. Like the picture of the frog that has its hands wrapped around the throat of the bird that is eating it, 'Never give up.' Trouble is, I am not sure what the fuss is all about? My objective has been, and remains, to share technical information and educated opinions. Nothing more, nothing less. All the postings are subject to the scrutiny and questioning of others. IMHO, that includes yours, Grayhairs. With due respect, Grayhairs, I do not require a reminder of my oath and the value of integrity. If you knew me at all, you would know that I have sacrificed much to maintain my values and principles that give one inner strength. I have once before received a threatening phone call from a person in Edmonton to whom I was responding in the "Letters to the Editor" section re: another world issue which I hold important. Although that phone call did frighten my family, I did not and would not let it intimidate me. Maybe it is stupidity or immaturity. I like to think it is something else. I like to think that we still live in a democracy where we can voice different opinions and as long as one sticks to the truth and to the facts, then one has nothing to fear. I don't want to sound like some philosopher. I have always prided myself by being a bit of a 'shit disturber' by ASKING all those questions that you mentioned. Why are we doing it like that? Have we tried this before? Did you look at this? etc.... Everyone should be encouraged, not threatened or intimidated, from asking questions. To me, that includes investments. I will go out on a limb and say that if I was one of the analysts on the BreX fiasco, I would have asked the questions that got me run off the lease. That would have been the red flag. Some of my experiences have instilled in me the desire to keep asking those questions - especially of investments. Perhaps I am asking the tough questions in the wrong camp? I would prefer to see your 7-page report by e-mail, if my request means anything to yourself. It is your call. mike
