Crusher,
I always appreciate your thoughts and passion. May I assume you are saying that you did in fact listen to the call?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but what I heard was Hollis actually speaking very candidly regarding some of the very past issues you reference.
He himself stated why many past issues had failed to be realized and how the only thing that matters now is an ability to generate revenues, much like you're saying.
I'm sure you heard that the manual is complete. Hopefully we will all get to view it at some point near term where we can properly access it. At that point, perhaps we revisit the discussion and give our respective thoughts.
Fact is this stock has been an abomination by all accounts and contrary to any insistence, Hollis himself has too lost considerable money on the venture, likely never profiting from any of it.
We previously discussed the gold mine in Oregon and how I had numerous friends personally visit it. It was all very real despite some others insistence at times. A bad capital intensive commoditized business is very different from an outright fraud. I can share with you the pictures if you ever want to see them. Mine, mill, equipment, the whole kit and caboodle!
I continue to see but one reason for the taking the path he has versus just cleaning the slate and starting fresh.
You can certainly say a lot of things about Hollis, but quitter and not willing to face the music, like on last weeks call wouldn't be two of them.
Frankly, I would have loved to hear you have asked any one of your perfectly fair questions on the call where he could have given a response. His willingness to provide you with a forum to do so, yet your apparent reluctance to use it, strikes me as a little hypocritical. That call gave you a free shot while he stood in the wide open, yet you weren't willing to take it. I would have expected anyone with such conviction to have open fired.
While I'm sure this post too will be removed as it promotes rational thought and discourse, surely you will read it before removing it.
Happy holidays to you and yours. :)
