orlander -- one thing that i have never seen acknowledged in GTEM-land about the russian fiasco is that the surprise "binding contract" announcement took place on the last day of 2005, but that in the weeks and months BEFORE that day, huff had promised several times that "the strat will absolutely, positively fly before the end of the year" --
and so the buzz on IH and other boards in the last weeks of 2005 was all about the details of the strat being flown on or before december 31....obviously, the GTEM insiders like huff knew that this deadline was going to come and go with NO strat flight, which would have hit the SP hard, and so they basically gamed the shareholders with a sleight-of-hand distraction....
hey, look over here....forget about the strat flying because here's a 600M BINDING contract (yah, right), which just HAPPENED to be announced on the exact day that everyone was expecting something else....
nothing but a bunch of criminals...
although i have to admit that on that particular day, the value of my GTEM shares went up over $30K, so that i could do one of those TV endorsements and say "i made over $30,000 in ONE DAY" -- and conveniently leave out the part, "but i was too stupid to sell"
