Bill - I always get a kick out of the "weight" you give me and to my abacus. If I weren't such a brilliant, yet humble guy, the accolades just might go to my head! Good thing I'm above all of that!

I don't have any update to BVs as nothing has changed except the possibility of greater net cash inflows on the properties we'll be developing. But the crystal ball gets very foggy as soon as it projects out beyond one milisecond from the present. So just look at the article as supportive of our endeavor.

And guys, stop beating up on Gibby. We all disagree with him, but that's just the way it is. He's burned out from the wait and the endless put offs and I can't blame him. Many of us have put a lot of money into this and we've lost (on paper) a great deal of value. And we still have a great deal at risk. So it gets emotional and it is personal. So let's all lighten up, ok? At least for another couple of months.

I am still of the opinion this will happen in January (revision from my hope it would happen in December). If it doesn't happen in January ... pitchforks and torches! From my read of the tea leaves, Omagine Inc will be sending the updated feasibility study over to MOT by year's end and the MOT head will have it when he gets back on Monday, 1/6/2014. Then it should just be a matter of setting the date and signing. Not sure why that would take a month.
