Ian,

You said: ""Proving you wrong is simply not worth the effort.""

Once you've developed a negative mindset, which is usually created by your own irrational fears, from your own self doubts, on the quality of the investment you made, you become an amateur basher. As opposed to the well known snakes, the professional bashers, who are paid to create doubt. Same job, different motives.

You want everybody to legitamize their positive outlook on the investment they made and believe in. Why didn't they do it this way or that way, like XYZ company, does the COB/CEO really have the credentials to develop this investment into a profitable venture for me. These are all things you should've known before you became a shareholder.

Being positive about your investment doesn't make you a pumper, it probably makes you an amateur pumper because of your positive attitude towards your investment though. A much different animal than the professional pumper, who are paid for their false reassurances and outright lies.

I can't prove that Fung will make all the right decisions, but the preponderance of evidense suggests it leans highly in that direction based on his success as a high profile businessman. I doubt whether there is anybody on this board who could even come close to equaling his abilities and success as an executive. His record with Crystallex is an aboration because of the necessity of dealing in such an impossible environment. The only thing that could have made this journey easier is if we sold Chavez illegal weapons and military equipment.

Ian, everybody is a pumper or a basher in their own right, some louder than others. Some people are eternal optimists, in my opinion that's a far better way to go through life than as a pessimist. You have to create that confidense in your own investments, so maybe it is worth the effort of proving Rayzz wrong, because if you fail.......you win.

Take Care,

EZ
