Now that SI is offering trial memberships, I have the opportunity to spout my frustrations. Frankly, I wouldn't pay 2 cents to post on these boards. The culprit here ladies & gentlemen is not Roper, Richard, or JD. The culprit is the Alberta Stock Exchange. They are notorious for sitting around, picking their nose, while investigating companies and in the meantime screwing the shareholders. If trated in the usual manner, this file has been shuffled from desk to desk with nary a gander. They will get to it when they feel like it. To make matters worse, it is Calgary Stampede time, and Calgary literally stands still while the yahoos in the business world all go out and pretend that they are cowboys. The deal with Safe Environment is real. The Company is real. The deal with Boeing is real, and their profits are real. What is not real, is the ASE's sincerity in trying to become a sucessful exchange. After the debacles with Bre-X, Timbuktu, Cartaway, YBM, and others, everyone at the exchange is only concerned about covering their own butts. Cushy jobs like these are hard to get.

Thank you Coach for your comments. Silicon Investor and similar sites enable all to voice their thoughts, concerns or to spread news in order to enlighten like-minded investors. In my opinion they should not be used as a medium for spreading rumours or hearsay, possibly in order to further the trading positions the contributor might have. I hope most people share my view although it is inevitable that there will be those who may abuse this relatively new medium of communication. With regard to Roper, specifically. Roper is undergoing a complete turnaround in it's business direction. Natural resources are depressed to say the least. We should, I believe, give Mr Watson a break for having the guts to not only recognise this but for actually doing something about it. The regulators of these markets may not always have this foresight and in doing their job may put hurdles in the way of such innovative companies. These hurdles can be overcome and are being so. Let's get behind the company in it's efforts to change direction, for all of our benefit, as shareholders. Rick Watson is working very hard to ensure that we move forward. Only the regulators, to whom he is answerable can give the OK for Roper to resume trading, so as previously suggested to some amongst us, call the exchange and apply pressure there. Welcome, Coach, to SI. Give us some thoughts!! Regards, DR
