Petition to LET US TRADE, page-37

Many of us SH are in the same boat. I wish I could say this will end well but the facts as I see it is that all the skills we admired in our Management prior to this crisis are skills to do with the mining operation, not eco/political negotiations. imo Mali thugs could'nt care less about 'reputation'; they care about cold hard cash and if they hold all the cards. They know people wil l keep investing cos they have the resources. It's ruled by a military junta backing the President. What does anyone think this military junta is asking for? It's been an expensive lesson for me, (should've bailed out after the ffx disaster) but am preparing to write off the remaining balance in my next tax returns.
