Maybe so, but in talking to two people at ASE surv. dept, and I won't name them here, I got the impression, and in one case was directly told, that Rick is well known around the ASE, well liked, and both seemed genuinely on his side. One even said it could be understood why he may have tried to slip, what to them is technically an RTO, through, and maybe even fast track it. Rick in a news release tied SEE in with mining safety equip., and why not, if you can avoid all the RTO b s?

As to your "wouldn't pay 2 cents to post", why not? Pretty cheap shot directed at every SI member there is. Okay for you to read the posts as you obviously have done, buy pay....? Cheap sheet! Glad I quit drinking that Molson slop long ago, and while it was hard to sell my Molson stock, kinda like shooting an old dog, I dumped it some time ago as well. Now dumping you, bye,

Jim

To Whom it may concern,

I am head of Investor Relations for Ayotte Music Inc. AYO-ASE and follow Roper Resources.
I can understand the frustrations felt by so many shareholders out there. You can now see why so many public companies move to the NASDAQ. Down there it may not be a perfect system, however, the powers that govern NASDAQ listed companies don't often halt them, since trading halts typically only hurt the INVESTORS!

In SI's defence I don't know why someone would not want to spout their frustrations without paying two cents for it. If this is the quality of people who are trying out SI on a free basis than be done with you and lets get on with those who put up their hard earned money for a membership and genuinely find a valid use for this service. These forums give investors and companies a chance to discuss related issues in a unique way that also creates a level playing field for both parties.

Last but not least, since Roper is listed on the ASE and therefore anyone investing has to live by the rules for that exchange will just have to wait out the halt. For those who genuinely paid for their shares waiting for exchange approval is merely an inconvenience.Many savvy investors know this. However, the speculators who got caught trying to trade in and out and have had to fess up and pay for their positions are SOL!

Otherwise why would someone be so frustrated?

I hope that more constructive comments about Roper and SI will be forthcoming.

Regards,
Mayo
