I rarely post to message boards but after reading the last 15 or 20 posts here beginning with 6852, I felt that I should share a little bit here as sort of a guy at the next stool over in the setting similar to that of, old movie "The Iceman Cometh", starring Jason Robards Jr.
First, thank you all who have been faithful for keeping all us "investors" informed as to the current events in the life and death of Mainland Resources Inc. I've ridden several into the dust over the years and am currently sitting on the loose ends of a few, hangig over a cliff, out of sight. I recently sold off a few close to the cliff just to salvage something from what soon looks to be nothing, before it actually is.
What provoked me to write here was the post of Carl2591 of Feb 19, 2013, it was the only post that day, he was responding I believe to Ecomike's post about how the head crook had to sell his multi million dollar home to stay out of jail... the way he put his sentiments regarding the poor crook's situation had me laughing on and off for 10 minutes at least, I'm still laughing. Actually I think he meant to be mean but he came across "way too kind". THAT, I guess was the activator of my amusment.
And so that this reading will not be a loss I'll add something that I hope reaches a few who can appreciate it:
for any of you were born at least in the 40's, you might remember a popular singer born in the 30's named Walden Robert Casotto, No? well, that's because he changed it himself just before he left college to pursue a career as an entertainer. His doctor had told him he could die at any time, with no remedy available so he decided to reach for the stars in a hurry. He died in 1973 at 37 but is as much alive as Frank Sinatra to those who lived within the sound of his music. Bobby Darin was the name he chose for himself, Google it. A better thing, if you are interested is to get a fantastic deal at Amazon for $8-15 a cd/dvd set with all the music and video "amazingly restored", the reviews say (I sent for one a few days ago but have not yet received it) and see it for yourself. My wife had picked up an old vhs tape: "Bobby Darin Mack is Back" which was his last show, that's what got me remenbering and wondering about his story.
My investment in the cd/dvd will net me more than many a fallen stock.
I recently bought and sold and am holding, a promising stock: APDN Applied Dna Sciences, which fortunately I bought and sold at the right time to make some money while still retaining some shares. I think it's a great company but the world we live in has made the stock market a different place than it has ever been before so who can tell?
Best to you guys
