the first broken promise, page-10

The thing which I found most surprising in the lead-up to the Shandong deal was that so many shareholder posters on HC looked for possible worst-case scenarios, no matter how unlikely they might be, and unfortunately that highly pessimistic attitude seems to still alive and thriving.

Non-holder knockers will unfortunately always be with us, and they each have their own agenda for trying to downplay the company's prospects. But I can't understand why so many holders look for the bad and ignore the good.

Why get your knickers in a knot trying to dream up things which haven't happened, do not appear likely to happen, and probably will never happen?

I believe that we're all fortunate to be holders in a company which is in a very strong financial position, cashed up to to an extent which most small miners can only dream of, with highly prospective ground, proven production, a great team of people with proven track records, and almost unlimited opportunties to expand exploration, mining and processing, which in due course will drive down costs and improve profitability.

Maybe if we all looked on the bright side, stopped knocking virtually every thing the company does, and gave due recognition to the positives which the FML team have achieved, we might even see some confidence returning and the SP starting to rise.

Talk about glass half empty thinkers. This little company is on the cusp of great things. Please - stop with all the negative postings and see what actually happens. Do you think Shandong are going to sit back and watch their $225 million go down the gurgler, or are they going to do everything possible to help FML reach its full potential, and become a very successful and profitable gold producer?
