From an article about Pratt Family's adventure with Hastie - perhaps not a glowing endorsement of their acumen, but the article said this about Neptune Marine:

Struggling offshore engineering business, Neptune Marine has also given Thorney plenty of trouble over the last five years. The investment firm first became a substantial shareholder on June 15, 2007, when Neptune shares were sitting at 79 cents. The shares would climb to over $1.20 a few months later, but have since fallen steadily and now sit at just 3 cents. Thorney has stuck by the company, however, and in March told the market that it had increased its stake from 8.73 per cent to 10.68 per cent. The stock jumped shortly after Thorney’s announcement, but at 3 cents it remains a long way from putting a smile on Waislitz’s face.
