Yes, Metal, you've been constant and realistic in your posts, which I have to admit I thought a bit too pessimistic. I basically believed that our directors were honourable men, and would always act in the best interests of all shareholders, to whom they have an ethical "duty of care". .. My husband never did share my trust; and now it looks as though I'll have to admit he was right too . Luckily (for me) he's very forgiving of my market losses. .. There are after all more important things in life than deals and dealings and material loss .. Big sigh
