re: News: Focus Minerals Corporate Profile Vi... hi mr sism,

this is off topic all - so if you are only interested in fml, please don't read on.

I seem to have upset my yahoo email address I use for forums - so I will set up another and give it to you in the next day or two to expand a bit.

I know a bit about microfacials - but I am really only good at it if I can see replays - they are dammed fast things. I see them as they are happening, but I have to replay to work out what the emotion is they are signalling.

I became a legend in my lunchtime a few years back when I outed John Stewart (ex ceo NAB) telling a huge lie about bad debts - about 2 weeks later the NAB collapsed in a big heap.
His microfacial was crystal clear - he was answering a question to an interviewer and his words were reassuring that the bad debts were of little concern, very managable - but his face flashed for a very small fraction of a second - the biggest whince you could ever see -- only slow motion truly captured it - he was lying through his teeth so to speak.

The man knew there was a big big problem and didn't say - so much for continuous disclosure.

That was a hell of a risk free short.

Have a great day

Pinto
