"The concept is to essentially allow banking through debit cards for individuals who otherwise could not formally access the banking or credit systems. This alone would allow the majority of Central Americans to begin to lift themselves out of third world conditions, by simply giving them access to modern banking."

So Panamersa issues debit cards to the poor in Central America? Doesn't a debit card assume funds in an account? Where do the funds come from? Panamersa? At what interest rate? And how do the poor magically get money to cover the debit card purchases and the interest? This is access to modern banking? It sounds more like Panamersa is loaning money to people who lack the means to pay it back, in my opinion. But, of course, this is probably all too complicated for the average investor to understand.

Maybe we're approaching this all wrong DS. It would be so much easier and more fun to just go around bashing stocks and get other people to do our DD for us.

Then, when all our questions have been answered a couple of hundred times and we can't think of any more to ask we can just throw up our hands, claim all the longs are in a 'koolaide induced euphoria', trade a couple of self-righteous ego boosting LOLs between us and then move on to the next one.

Just as a 'hobby' of course. Think of all the people we could 'save'!. We'd be SUPERHEROES!

PANAMERSA IV will convey 3500 Hectors of mineral reserves and one million troy ounces of gold to the foundation, bringing more than $700 million in assets to the foundation."

Versus MT statement yesterday about having a comfirmed 1 million troy ounces of gold in the bank.

I get a chuckle about the "3500 Hectors". Is MT implying that Ecuador coughed up 3500 guys named Hector and they are being held hostage as collateral for the PDR's? Or is he talking about land which presumable holds reserves of 1 milion ounces of gold. Either he can't write a proper PR or he is being deceptive. I think it's the latter.

IN any event, 1 million ounces in the ground is a far cry from 1 million ounces in the bank.

Which is it? You actually believe this stuff?
