Why is everyone in such a hurry. And why do they expect everything to miraculously zoom off overnight? Like winning Tatt's??

Doing business in Angola or any third world country is very tough. Bringing it all to a successful conclusion and getting the results shareholders want is no mean feat, regardless of the geographicals. But in such remote and difficult places it must be absolutely daunting! The bureacracy and red-tape alone must be monumental.

Fot heaven's sake, wish some of you would stop this day to day panicking.It's getting boring, and doesn't add much to the debate in my opinion.

Too many what if's, maybe's, wish it woulds, it mights, it wills, it wonts.. It'll all fall into place, and come good. That's what I personally feel confident about. Waiting patiently with this stock is a given. Give management their due - they have done very well to get it to this stage, and I am sure they are working very very hard for everyone's benefit, not just their own. IMO.

I wish all LT holders good luck. And if people want to trade it meawhile, well, that's their perogative. We just have to grin and bear it.
