BMK, I miss him too.

I miss his daily texts and calls to me regarding this play, the excitment and disappointment related to it, and especially his steadfast belief based on his Due Diligence about what this area will bring and how he was going to enjoy his retirement when these stocks finally take off through the roof.

The famly is coping, and his wife really appreciated it when I told her about all the well wishes and prayers to come from this forum.

Unfortunately, his passing was really unexpected and now his wife is dealing with trying to sort out his stock portfolio. I am helping her understand the potential of this play, but like many others, she is trying to come to grips with the monetary losses in the "Ring of Fire". She knew bits and pieces about the play, but was a bit unaware of how much had been invested and exactly where it stands right now in terms of value.

Hopefully she will be able to afford to hold the stocks long enough to see them rise from the ashes of this fire.

Visegrip was self employed as a contract metalergist, and his wife was his bookkeeper and assistant within his company. Unfortunately, with him gone, so goes the business. She is also dealing with ovarian cancer which she just got treatment on in Germany 5 times last year and came out, they're hoping, cancer free.

Just thought everyone might want to know.

Makes me realize that, as much as I have lost to date on these volatile stocks in the ring, God willing, I'll be around to reap the benifits, and that others have it a lot worse and we must remain confident and appreciate everything else life has to give us.

Hopefully his wife can hold on to the stocks and eventually benifit from Visegrip's stock choices.
