I agree SBL... there are 2 types of people in the oil business, the "doers" and the "true believers"...the latter waltz on splashing abut other peoples money with a religeous conviction that the the next to impossible with automatically eventuate, guilding the lily, and taking a nice fat pay packet.
the doers analyse, assess, get the funding, get the equity mix right, and just get on with it.
I wonder which camp RIA falls into?
