WCalahan,It seems to me that your general outlook and sense of humor include a liking for shaking people's expectations up a bit, and a taste for the paradoxical.
As CEO Perry Leopold is, as far as I know, the largest shareholder of NBRI stock, and has often taken an allocation of shares in lieu of a regular salary, I find your idea of the CEO planning "a bnkruptcy" far-fetched to the point of being incredible. But it my be intended by you as a way of prodding management on to get production going. if not yesterday, at least in a very short space of time.
All that we have heard lately leads me to infer that the CEO and geologist Gary Clifton have the clearest possible understanding that the more quickly the status of being a producing mining company can be attained, the better it will be in terms of prestige, recognition by the market, and the whole principle of ' getting it done', so keeping the company's finances in the best possible condition.
The outcome, in my scorebook, is that the person in the world who has the strongest motivation for achieving results quickly and thereby winning recognition for his role and his policies is CEO Leopold.
I realize that everyone feels frustrated by the wait, but I cannot help feeling either that by now we are getting nearer by the day.
In the meantime I look forward to hearing other details of the progress being made from the group of five participants to the organized visit to the Ruby.
Maybe an importnnt new chapter in the illustrious history of the Ruby is about to begin.
