Franklin Mining, Inc. (FMNJ)

[Trueheart]

Ah, Sunzu,

You cite the ultimate word on battles many times. But the warrior also wins who picks and chooses his battles. This is not the coward but the leader who sees long-term goals and creates the strategy to fulfill those goals. Tactics flesh out the plans and make them possible on the battlefield.

That said, I believe as FMNJ continues to fall absent accomplishing anything in the field of mining, strategy no longer applies to FMNJ. There are only tactics as one responds positively or negatively to the precipitious share price fall.

What do I do now? Do I have confidence that management will pull this thing out of the dive and I double down. Do I think that management is living well off their stock-selling and I sell as I cannot take the pain any longer. Or do I sit and wait and hope for the best?

I think the question is where is the foundation price for this stock. Or perhaps better yet, does a foundation exist?

You say you will be buying toward the bottom whereever that may be. The good general never enters the battle not knowing what he up against. I think to an extent you are traveling on a moonless night with your horse soldiers and somewhere in your path may be a chasm that will swallow them.

Question your motives and send scouts down the path with a time to report back and you will lose only two should the chasm exist. If not, then they will lay out the land and find resources and you will have your warriors to do battle.

Trueheart
