Ann: Australian Gold Conference Presentation, page-28

Jess, i try to respect everyone who posts their opinion on here if they're half reasonable but sometimes its harder than others.

I dont like cluttering up the theads with bs petty arguments etc. Its just a waste of time and off-putting, but unfortuneately I have some time on my hands at the moment and I'm bored.

There was a famous old saying, went something along the lines of "you should never mudwrestle with a pig, you both get dirty but the pig likes it", but here i find myself, pulling on my mudwresting leotards.

Not so long ago you wanted to have deans babies, you were gushing post after post about how good he was, how good dreadnought was, how we'd be at x dollars SP before the end of the year thanks to captain Tuck etc, now youve gone all "kathy bates" on dean and dreadnought.

You're a bloke from what I understand but youre acting like more like Kathy bates, or Lorena Bobbitt now that what were probably unreasonable expectations have been unfulfilled. Youve recomended DRE to your family and now you have egg on your face. You probably failed to restrain your enthusiasm and greed and now have been burnt, like many here, at least in the short term. Well depending on how you act going ahead depends on how those burns recover. You dont lose till you sell. If you sell right now you're gonna have 3rd degree burns, need plastic surgury and even more counselling, drugs or even incarceration?. Maybe thats the best option. Who knows. Only eddythedog's wife has a crystal ball. No one else here has one and it seems like you dont, im not sure but I hope you can find a way forward and mitigate your burns to that of mere 1st degree but the choice is yours.

if you look at the recent announcement and the analysis of that geoinvest guy it seems not all hope is lost. You just have to have a more realistic in the timeframe and expectations. It's clear that exploring is very unpredictable in terms of results, but the thing you can control is how you approach it, plan it, what options you take, the strategy, structure etc. My take is that a lot is being done well here. So what if we dont have results that you like right now, it doesnt work like that. You cant just throw you toys out of the cot and get nasty and have good results suddenly appear. It takes time, perseverence and luck. Do you have those attributes?

If you want more predictable returns go put your money in the bank. If dean fell for it as you suggest, how clever are you? you fell for dean and everything he said, and in fact swallowed the bait entirely from deans hook

Anyway. I'm not going to continue this. Try to find a positve way forward buddy. Its not easy and its not easy times. but stop blaming others for your predicament. It helps noone and gets your nowhere.
