Look, I just found this forum a few days ago, and I have spent the last few days looking at it trying to be objective. And really, after reading most of the 300 posts, I don't think pointed questions were asked well, nor did SBRUNNER interpret the questions correctly to get at what people were saying. PLUS, insults start getting thrown, and this is not at all contructive. I do agree that SBRUNNER's answers to questions did seem ambiguous, although it appears to me that he thinks he was being crystal clear.
I did look at a lot of the research offered on this forum, and since I'm not a numbers guy, I'm more willing to take the projections at its word, and if it proves to be a bad investment, oh well. I lost an entire summers income when I was 19 in the market. oh well. Just because Raleo is behind doesn't mean people won't get paid. Just because people haven't gotten paid doesn't mean they won't. I'm just surprised that TATF hasn't outlined an adequate and reasonable plan to get people paid for wood sitting around under tarps, not to mention actually milling the 10 year and 13/14 yr thinnings to find out how close they are to their projections or not.
I'm willing to wait for my share of the $$, but I think investors need to be given a more accurate timetable as to how long we'll have to wait and why.
oh, and "moderate" was the best word I could come up with at the time. I am an investor, so I easily see that point of view, but I don't want to see investors get so pissed off that "POSSIBLY" one of the best investments around gets messed up. at worst this is a bad investment, and best its a great one, when Raleo catches up, we'll find out, but investors need better communication as to what is the hold up of the money ( I suppose that SBRUNNER *COULD* argue that investors should be happy if they get anything at all from the 1st/2nd thinning,.... yet supposedly instead of breaking that bad news to investors, they've created a company to get investors money that would have otherwise been lost, but didn't bother to tell people how long they'd have to wait, nor what they could anticipate in the future).
I hope that people reading this post can see that I'm not necessarily defending anyone, just trying to clarify things so the name calling stops vs having the line of communications break down (as they apparently have).

more direct questions to SBRUNNER... people who own 94/95 teak, when will they get paid for the first thinning? how long (years) will it take for Raleo to catch up on milling the thinnings?
