Imanjen, I'm glad to hear that you understood the lesson in the art of battle. The horse soldiers represent money. Yet, you mention the heart and soul of the soldiers as what often decides the winner. Your words lead me to believe that I have not explained myself well.
If the soldiers represent money, as we both agree, then it follows that they are only a medium to accomplish our goal, which is victory. There should be no concern about the heart and soul of the the soldiers as these things do not matter. They are to a man well-trained and have equal fighting value and they will do exactly as we want them to do. It is how we use our soldiers that will determine whether or not we win.
You also say, "Throw in a little luck and a clear cut objective and strategy and the battle is won." What you say has often resulted in victory. But, FMNJ's management has not demonstrated that they have a clear cut objective.
They have bounced from the Bolivian gold mine to the Columbia gold mine to generators to Cerro Rico to GTL in the highlands to Pulacayo and to GTL in Argentina. Because there is no clear cut objective there can be no strategy. I shudder to think that there is the possibility that the goal all along has been to run this thing as long as they could and the strategy has been to create scenarios along the way to keep it going.
Another matter. You thank NYBob for posting more info on the plight of the miners at Cerro Rico. I'm glad to know that you have a sense of humanity. But FMNJ will not be in position to help them if it does not get down to business and into the mines. You know that and yet you skirt the real issue and wish and hope that we could help them out of their misery. We can't help them if we don't get down into the dirt.
Thanks for listening.
Trueheart
