Loanwolf This has been discussed many times on this board. Yes past performance does to some degree predict the future. However, I would ask for you to look deeper into SFMI current management. Why would Roger Scammell leave a very profitable mining business to come over to SFMI to screw up his reputation at the end of his career? The answer is he wouldn't!!! The man has made money in the past and developed a good reputation for himself. I'm sure with the recent increase in share price, the detractors will start to come out of the woodwork. Long SFMI Bean
