when is good?, page-68

Dear DTrad,

Thanks for your objective comments. A very close friend of mine (who is always there watching the Posts on HotCopper, and we both registered in 2005 "I think" with HotCopper) sent me a text message (with a few emails) just right after those few Posts I made.

He asked me, Where the heck you've been in Cyberspace? You were registered a long time ago, and now coming from nowhere posting on the threads in SDL in HotCopper. You know what you just did, you had just stirred up the whole congregation and made a few uncomfortable persons who love to pat and hug each other about SDL. I stopped posting long time ago just because of that - he said.

He owned and traded and still plans to trade SDL when the opportunity suits him, by the way. Nothing personal, it is just a share thing that you can trade and lose or win some money, he said.

The amount or volume I mentioned (I thought was not relevant). It's just a number... I would have made a lie if I quoted otherwise. Anyway, sometimes telling the truth makes the whole conversation go bad. Shall I tell a lie then .... my Grandfather always said to me - NO my boy, just tell what is there. I am still a little boy to this day, I just got bigger, and maybe a lot more stupid.

I understand everyone makes mistakes, and I made a lot in Trading in the past, and I am still making them as we speak. Noone can predict the future. You can only work your way on what you can perceptionally think or figure out.

As in regard to SDL, noone could predict the future of SDL. I just woke up one morning in June last year and the SDL shares were on hold in the market because the whole Board was crashed in a plane. Noone could ever predicted that. We were very lucky that the original Chairman who conceptualised the future of SDL was still there and stepped in with no delay and say, don't worry I am here still, and we can get this SDL Idea up and running, he promised.

What I can say is that, we enjoy SDL as a high volume traded stock in ASX. It is very rare we get the opportunity of a well-traded and well-publicised stock as this one. If we can benefit from it, whether a long-term investment or short-term, then we do it.

As of now, the reality in a business sense is that, SDL is still and Idea. When the DFS comes out, then a formal book outlining, detailing, and summarising the Idea of SDL would be there officially. Then the Board will go out there and sell the Big Idea about SDL to get the money to start the ball rolling and start to transform SDL into reality.

That will take time, and for us little ones (as we are just a small dot in the whole picture of SDL, and they don't even care for us mind you), we can either watch, get in and hold, and get in and out - and in and out, or just get in and walk away, or just ignore it altogether and just walk away. Whatever you choose to do, that is entirely your own decision.

Thanks again DTrad. Have a good day mate.
