If I'm no good at reading your posts, there's probably a very good reason for it. It's blindingly obvious PEN will outshine Bannerman where it counts: FIRST TO PRODUCTION.

And that's only production.

And just let me reiterate what I said yesterday, since you scoffed at the notion.

Particularly in light of tomorrow's possible developments regarding Asian equity investment in Lance: in this game, to this point, and as far as investors will be concerned, the gap between the two companies in terms of: connections, credibility, assigning P/E ratios (conservative fund managers' requirements), revenue streams and possibly even dividend payments, and leveraging all of the above to make additional acquistions .... [can be measured in] light years.

Credibility gives you connections and connections give you credibility. It's a reflection of management skills and people savvy, of the operation and resource base as a whole, and it has a huge appetite to feed off of itself.

Enter fund managers, some of whom can only invest if there's an E in the formula, whereas the revenue streams - in light of having cemented customers to long term contracts with more to come and no doubt the Asians will like what they see - will look after themselves. Dividend payments, when they eventually happen, they are just the icing on the cake. Additional acquistions are really only a formality, if management's fierce determination and ambitions for the company stand for anything.

Boll, this ain't even a fair fist fight. It's men against boys.
