Siamese parrot,

Thanks for your response - btw I certainly did not mean any offence by insinuatiung that you were "wicked"! - I was merely trying to point out that you are our unfailing source of optimism whilst BB is the voice of caution - I think the two of you provide in tandem a good balanced view of upside versus downside - the day you ignore the downside is the day you might as well go to the casino.

I also think it is a little unfair to insinuate that BB had limited credibility based on what SP he sold out at - he simply made a risk reward judgement based on his own circumstances. That doesn't diminish the accuracy or relevance of the information he posts.

Finally, I have to also point out that the quote "fast tracking of the granting of leases" should really be included with the full quote "supportive of fast tracking of the granting of leases". So there is nothing that definitively states that the DPIM are ACTUALLY "fast tracking" the leases, just that they are pushing to have them fast tracked.

I do agree that this indicates strong govt support, but does not provide any certainty of whether they are actually expediting the process.

All that said, I am still a believer, SP!
