Ann: Austin strikes Oil in Colorado-AKK.AX, page-347

Gentlemen, I read it a tad differenly. To me the crew of AKK has weathered storm after storm , they've come back from the brink many times and are once again striving diligently for success. Those long standing shareholders who contributed are not , in my opinion, fools, rather they, like the management of AKK are optimists who are prepared to invest, work hard and gamble for success. I applaud them. I hold a reasonable amount of shares in AKK therefore I consider it my company. Also for those who have never worked on an oil rig, let alone been the driller of an oil well, I suggest that perhaps you should refrain from criticising that which you don't know. I consider myself very fortunate to have such a capable crew running my company and bringing an oil well to completion on my oil field. Does this read like a pump?? You bet it is. Good fortune to us in our venture. To the pessimists... goodbye.
