the media and who will lead the direct action, page-10

I think we are coming up to a crossroads in the company's future re so much news which we believe is due by end of year which, if released, will set our st and mt share price direction imho.

It has been such a long road for holders. I am confident Thompson will be doing all he can to ensure positive outcomes will be achieved for holders. I am not throwing in the bag too easily that's for sure.

re SP3 selling (part) of his holding as discussed also on 'CAG' thread. 1) His business and no one else’s, 2) His personal reasons for doing this and is not reflective of “outlook” for ESI/ ESIO nor is it our business, 3) Each investor has their own risk exposure/ money management policy/ differing financial committments

The thing is, I would think that we are ALL here to try and make money which is why I would think many are unhappy with where we currently are. Sure, great ideas/ technologies/ business models/ potential industries make it even more worthwhile to be involved in a story through holding a particular stock and Coldry ticks so many boxes BUT at the end of the day I think we all have one purpose of being here. To make more money. Bills do not wait, children do not wait (we know that), things we want to buy sometimes cannot wait, perhaps other investments we want to look into and need more funds for also are timely, etc etc, and obviously a DECLINING or STAGNATING SHARE PRICE does not help us achieve any of the above and current share price only adds more fuel to the already large fire that is blazing (imho).

All who have been here for a while will be fully aware that many have waited it out for some time and been patient for some time due to the view that the company has been very limited to what they can say regarding both private and ALDP funding BECAUSE of the ALDP funding and associated guidelines which may have restricted the company from saying certain significant/ price sensitive things and also in an aim for us to maximize our potential slice of the pie. But can you imagine the added frustration if the ALDP no longer went ahead after all of the past several months?? (not saying at all that ALDP scheme is revoked, but more contemplating how much more angry holders will be if scheme were to be cancelled or dare I say it was unsuccessful). Though I do not think ECT would be unsuccessful in ALDP (all imho only).

But I ask: At what point is the waiting game been done to death? When is enough enough? Rupe has said "god help em" if this year's AGM brings nothing new. Fact is because Thompson and Foz have a stake in this coy they will be as keen as anybody else is to try and get the price moving because they have a stake in it too. I do think that many shareholders have been extremely patient with this company and some stuck by it for a long time now (SP3, Rupe, Paz, Amazed, Megagene, Kelcorbett, just as examples) and I would hate to think what would eventuate if at the AGM or prior to the AGM there was no additional positive news on some front and they indicated they wanted to drag this out even further. I believe then there could be even more anger and asking of more questions. I don’t think there are words to describe how the deafening silence re the ongoing funding delays have made holders feel.. frustrated, infuriated, geez I don’t think even those words give it justice... however I do not think that management are doing this to try and hurt holders or because they get pleasure out of doing this (no way).. whatever happens one thing you can bet on on the 'HC front' is that there will be lots of new faces saying they are holding if things do go well... and if it doesn’t go well then there will be much commentary and people out in full swing (probably many who aren't holding too) with their “I told ya so’s” and their other expert commentary... like we have already seen in post 9878398 on 9th Nov from maddogjim who stated:
“The best thing to expect next week is for this dog to finally go under....and then if it's still hanging in there, be pleasantly surprised. Still amazes me why so many bother to post on this stock”. - I don't know what this is based on or what purpose that comment holds but there you go. You can also bet your bottom dollar that IF things go well, all the people who are bagging out the company will probably change their tune on the company’s outlook fairly quickly as is the case with many other stocks all over Hot Copper....
