i hope not spineless , page-5

I agree with that. I've read many posts on this site about Cougar's scientific blood-line being the purest of the UCG players...unfortunately as evidenced by the debacle of the last 18 months, business is a Machiavellian world of spin and PR machinery and political agendas as much as it is science (see LNC for a masterclass on this side of business) and I'm afraid the old Cougar's never recovered from the round 1 and 2 smashing it received way back when, an attack it should have been way, way more prepared to defend against IMHO. Yep, I'm yet to see any fighting with tooth and nail, just endlessly adjusting its smashed spectacles and dabbing its haemorrhaging nose with the hope of a Chinese miracle. I've lost massively on of my first big 'speculative investments', I will be more prepared myself and make sure the next company has a bit more robustness to weather tropical Queensland storms.
