to be honest, david . . . i don't even know what questions you asked me or when? sorry i didn't respond right away, i was in another thread (mrvc) . . . might care to check it out. . . if you're asking me about idcn, then here are my thoughts . . keep in mind that this is not based on any fancy figuring or "dd" or the management or any other craziness which you all seem to put so much stock in . . .no pun intended . . . my opinion of this company is based solely on 1)gut, 2)the type of business they're in and 3)the conspicuous nature of the buyout offer . . . first, i would never invest in a mining company, unless maybe something like us silica . . .wall street west is now touting europa and i think it's a crock. . . investing in mining is like pulling up stakes and moving your family to the wild west to pan for gold in the hopes of striking it rich. . . it's possible, but so is getting struck by lightning . . . second, why on earth would cmi offer to buy all outstanding stock at .375 when they could start by buying up a bunch at 7 cents or whatever it's trading at? when i first read the article on the business wire, that's the first thing that popped into my mind . . .(but i'm sure you have a logical answer for that too), but to me, it stinks. . .that's a common sense question . . . third, you are hanging a bunch of hope on an event that hasn't even occurred yet . . .doesn't your gut tell you that this company is stalling . . .there IS NO BUYOUT . . .it's a SCAM . . so you sit and comfort yourselves by researching the profitability of garnet mines for heaven's sake. . . get real and get a real stock!!!!!!!! this is not rocket science, folks . . just good ol' common sense . . . by the way, big tex, you've never had any exposure to gay folks have you? your thoughts pls . .
