That's exactly the way I feel. He said on MN1 that the money was in escrow and that the first part of August was when it would be done. There are no signs of dilution and there sure haven't been any signs of a pump. He has told me that he doesn't put out fluff news. There are many things that could be at play here. The one scenario put out by WTL may be what the hold-up is. He said he felt Larry's backers may not want Frankfurt trading til the China deal is done so they can capitalize on the shares they have been buying up. It may just be some fine tuning to the agreement between EQBM and the owners. I have had house closings delayed by up to a month for various reasons. This deal is much more complex than that as we are dealing with a mine in China, an owner from Hong Kong, a company in Canada dealing with their lawyers in NY. I'm holding strong and will have more dry powder soon because when this goes, it could go very high very fast. JMO Do your DD.
