Port,
“QUOTE: 2009 is going to be a big year, I want to have the best there is at the helm and I really don't know how good our guys are”.

I presume your uninhibited exuberance for BTA stemmed from your inability to assess Peter Cook’s and his mates’ sterling performances in wealth creation.
(Quote: Any thoughts ?”), you obviously could not understand BTA board had just showered Peter Cook with LTIOs and engaged in BTA shares buyback in pure contempt for shareholders.

To assist you further, I post the following information on your beloved management.

Do you need more examples of Peter Cook and BTA Board’s performances? Even a mediocre management would have brought home rewards for shareholders. Unfortunately for shareholders, Peter Cook and his mates are much much more than mediocre.
