Snug actually makes a good point. Trust in management is an absolute must and while most of us believe in Richard Nemis and his management team, new investors should get to know and trust management in advance of any decision prior to investing in same. The one significant difference I can see between Noront management and Robert Friedland is that the ladder would be considered a slim promoter who could careless about anyone except himself. Richard Nemis is respected and actually cares about the investor and has deminstrated that through his actions. Most on this forum assume NOT management is a given, but we should not take it as a granted.
