Who cares about "Rome"? It's the building of Shanghai, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shenzhen etc etc, (and the small part in that which FWL will play) that should have concerned you, Nose?
I'm not sure about my great grandchildren, Nose. But my children and their children should be nicely sorted now, thanks!
I'm not normally one to rub someone's Nose into things, but you've been a real pain for a long time, contributing nothing of value with your cynicism.
Unlike those here that have maintained the faith through the difficult times (congratulations to all!), you've failed to recognise that the guys at FWL have demonstrated utmost integrity and professionalism. Unlike many other iron ore hopefuls, they've played it low key and avoided the temptation to prematurely ramp.
FWL has also showed great vision in pursuing a strategy which has set them apart, allowing for significant value adding. They failed to close a deal in 2008 not through failings in their strategy but because of the GFC.
With my occasional, adhoc inquiries to the company, I've always found them to be extremely courteous, accessible and respectful. These are traits which I suspect you would fail to recognise, Nose, but they have helped to sustain my support in the company through the difficult times.
We've now been rewarded!
If there is one lesson you should take from this huge missed opportunity, Nose, is that Hotcopper (much like life in general) works best when you show respect for others.
