"VP is so over the top negative that even if bg gets a deal done and we all make tons of money it still won’t be good enough."

You are very wrong.  If BG gets a deal done, I will apologize and become his biggest cheerleader.  Because I doubt very much his capacity to bring us a deal or even come close to it, I am among his biggest opponents.  As to my otherwise being negative, that is also not so as I am a believer in the wealth that Hay Mountain likely holds.  I know that at some point someone will dill it, and probably score the hit of the century.  I only pray that at least some of us current shareholders are around to benefit from that, though it is looking increasingly unlikely without bringing on appropriately connected executives WHOEVER THEY MAY BE!
