If we don't get a deal there will be plenty of angry spouses out there wondering why we had invested in a tin pot company.
I understand how you feel Plough --- I sheepishly have let my good spouse know how much we have to lose --- the tension was getting a bit much more me.
I also agree that Brian has to much to lose also --- but that still doesn't exclude the worst case scenario --- but his personal interest has been what has held my interest over the past 2 + years.
I don't think the Macquarie deal (if it indeed comes off) will be that great --- and the next year or 2 might be tough ---- but the company still has the potential for substantial and impressive growth --- new projects and a longer mine life at Las Lagunas will dilute the cost of finance and the damage inflicted with the necessary forward sales ---- the possibility of the substantial investment by the Latin American Asset Management group and the new projects that will come with this backing, could quickly change the face and prospects of EVG.
Hopefully most of us are aware of the risks involved --- and can cope with any losses that may come our way. For myself I feel like I am getting older and the time is running out --- I am happy to take the risk ---- and hopefully the ultimate rewards.
It is only money ---- but the wait for financing has been grinding away at me ---- luckily have had a couple of other shareholders I keep in touch with a little ---- none of us know more than the other but can be comforted by our collective ignorance.
So regards to all --- irrespective of what happens it will be another story to tell.
Jim.
