hondo, i think you have a valid point with the "deal of the century"...but the thing i cant wrap my mind around ( at least in a positive way)....is... why is'nt kry buying up their own stock if there was a possibility of a permit or other positive outcome?

at this point it seems even mngt has given up on a positive outcome.......otherwise the prudent thing would be to buy up 100mil shares for $10mil+ over a period of a few weeks....

the current discount to kry's PPS (by my monkey math and statements from analysts) means the market is counting on kry not getting the permit, selling all assets and getting an additional $50mil from hugo to leave....

personally, i think kry is a great speculative gamble here.....unfortunately, nobody is gambling when there are a number of "maybe sure things" out there....it's almost to the point where everyone wakes up one day and says "you know what?!? money is'nt worth anything anymore....if you want me to cut your grass, then give me 10 gallons of milk..."

say what you want about obama but i would'nt take that job right now for all the tea in china.....unless you'd take kry stock in exchange for the tea..
