John and Charred... John, your assumption is that everyone who held onto KRY listened to Carson...to that I say BS. With respect to my own posts...you are again trying the old Jerry Collins routine whereby you try and blame someone who express their opinion about a KRY win in an effort to hype or influencing others. You saw the opinions of walter, charred, valentine,viper and so many more on the anti-KRY side and you also have apparently seen that pro-KRY opinions from myself, Mesa, etc. etc.... were you influenced enough by anyone's opinions to take an actual position either short or long in KRY? From what I have seen of your posts, the answer seems to be an unqualified NO! So..if you were not influenced by the pro or anti-KRY rhetoric, why do you assume that everyone who held was influenced by the pro-KRY side and not by their own personal beliefs? Is your constitution somehow stronger than others? From what I have seen of what you write...and the opinions (I use the term loosely) you express, the answer is again an unqualified NO! I fully accept that I chose the pro-KRY side and held onto my belief that KRY would win...I blame no one for this...not Carson, not some of the other posters, not KRY...etc. etc. Anyone who cannot make up their own minds as to the investments they choose should consider mutual funds IMO. ++++++++++ Charred...sorry, I do not understand your comments about Riccio and Sadek...is it that you do not know what their experience is or that you do not feel that they would make valuable additions to the board? What I am trying to get at is that in those two people alone, KRY has a great deal of experience in the areas that you feel that they need to strengthen. At this time Riccio and Sadek advise the board on matters related to mining engineering and geology...and the board takes action based on that advice. This being the case, I do not see why a shift in their positions to "board members" would change anything. They would still be making the same plans, expressing the same opinions and moving in the same direction. Perhaps you can explain... Finally, -I have previously expressed the opinion that the BoD not holding shares was a concern/problem and I too like to see management have a stake in their company however despite that fact, the point I am trying to get across with resect to this is that even people who saw the sales by management as a red flag had ample opportunity to sell their own shares , most likely at a profit, and move on...yet they chose not to...how can anyone balme management for this?? -I care about the 5000ha and the agreements that it will bring about. -I do not think KRY woould go after a 150k oz. producer...if you check my figures in a previous post, you will see that I believe that they would go after an asset that produces about half that amount...say somewhere between 60-80k oz. per year. In any event, I don't see how this matters a great deal...even if they made their total objective of 150k. oz, it is no big deal when you consider valuations of other companies with similar production. This , IMO is only a point of debate for us...it will not be a "company maker". Thanks, AV
