I am glad that conversation worked out for you but for every one success I guarantee there are hundreds that don't succeed. If id listened to every driller who said they'd made a discovery whilst drilling for XYZ company Id be broke by now. They all have an opinion but how does their little piece translate into the bigger picture which is the business?
Best to be able to read company reports and understand the financials to make your own mind up rather than listen to a thousand opinions.
