B*A*N*K*E*R, as a psychologist and still quite a novice investor, I have read and found your remarks very interesting. This stock has been a test of many people's patience, mine included, but I have a basic faith in the magnitude of the deals and money involved. I cannot imagine that something on this scale and with players at this level can be seen as anything frivolous, and there is too much talent and exposure to imagine a real failure. I see this as an airraft carrier amidst the pennystock flottila of fishboats, speedboats and dinghys and am excited to see what will happen once the thing is fully lauched.
An aircraft carrier cannot turn on a dime, however. So, while I am curious about your depiction of Dean as a real master warrior in the realm of the "DEAL" and am encouraged by the fact that you seem to know him and have so much faith, I hope you have been able to remain objective. I wouold love to contribute ideas as time goes on, but so far have so little information as to teh full scale of the enterprise that I would hardly know where to begin. I have perused the resumes of his 'cabinet' and have also been duly impressed by his HR instincts and clearly am delighted and turned on by the whole mission of MINESEEKER altogether. I will be curious to see what the rest of the pieces are and how they fit together.
Truly great men, no matter what field they focus on, tend to gather fascinating companions and surround themselves with innovatiors. The little I know about QASP is that it looks like such a team has formed and I can only imagine that those who are attracted to the central core of the company will be of a high caliber. At the same time, the iHub forum, somewhat naturally, tends to attract a wide range of opinions, emotionally driven or panic-striken, many with little patience based in short term hopes and fears, and a few with the equanimity and composure of sage investors with years of experience. That there are even a few of you offering your perspectives is critical in supporting my own decision-making process and in bolstering my committment to stay long and throw all my spare coin into this with some confidence.
Thank you for your postings and I hope you appreciate that although you will not be blamed if the dream of $2+ per share is not reached by the end of summer, or even by next summer, your thoughtful and interesting perspectives have been and will continue to be helpful.
