"Sleep" sent me a back-channel question re BillyBoy's post. He (Sleep) asked me "What do you think of this?"...

Jim...My first guess is that somebody regrets having missed the .000x's, and is desperately trying to "snark" the price back down. That, or it's just another one of those poor delusional bastards that thinks they can exert their mystical, magical powers on the market with creative rumor-mongering. LVS had a legion of doom-and-gloomers back in the $2-3's, all the way through the $16-18's, but not quite so many at $30. 'Nuff said?...
I'd be a fool to say it's impossible for Copper King to go Ch.7, but the likelihood grows more remote with each day moving forward. The US Trustee, Ms. Cayton, has proven to be thoughtful, and fully engaged in this case, and Judge Thurman has an undisputed reputation for fairness and experience in these matters. Much to our favor, our new counsel Peggy Hunt has personal experience before Judge Thurman, and is well-aware of his disdain for "city-slicker" tactics.
It feels like it took an eternity for CPRKSA to obtain recognition, but that time has been well-spent. The steering committee has had the opportunity to confer with many of the numerous players involved, and I believe we have garnered a level of respect that will serve well as the game wears on. At the same time, we've been learning who twiddles their pinky-ring when they're contemplating an inside-straight. Again, 'nuff said...
I'll be the first to state that I've played some long-shots in the past that went south without so-much as a kiss, but I also "put my money where my mouth is". My latest order filled Tuesday for 1M/shrs @.0008. Of course, the perrennial "nay-sayers" will have no adequate response, as you cannot prove a negative. Perhaps, as a professional courtesy, one of us might be able to arrange a nice, long-term Valium drip?...
