First and foremost, I've
lost interest. I find tube hi-fi much more interesting. Second, I have been
connived and fooled by the best in the business and passed this tomfoolery
off to my readers.
Justin Rice and the Russell
Brothers took me and many friends into near-bankruptcy on the Azteca Gold
project up Two-Mile just northeast of Wallace. I republished many of their
lies and I am ashamed of it. I trusted them. Their lies seemed true at the
time.
Secondly, I've
being hauled into federal court involving a lawsuit between shareholders and
Bob Genovese over a mine I wrote about, the Liberty Silver Trinity silver
property near Lovelock Nevada. I still think it's a good prospect, discovered
by US Borax and heavily and positively reviewed by a respected mining
evaluator, SRK, but after my writing a positive article the stock tanked and
the longs lost, well, their shorts and have dragged me into their shit. Never
owned a share of Liberty. I did lose $7,000 on Justin's gambit, long after I
wrote about it, and I could probably sue Justin for his lies, but really, why
sue because I'm stupid or gullible. Maybe Ralph Nader could knock some sense
in to me.
Whatever
happened to, You pays your money and you takes your chances? Ain't that the
American way?
Capitalism is by
nature creative and destructive. What do we taxpayers owe the buggy-whip
makers for going out of business because of the auto mobile, which did not
require horses? Precisely nothing. But then in steps the modern federal
government, to sue Henry Ford for buggy-whip-maker damages. This latter
mind-set prevails today and it's why your kids can't read. But that's another
rant.
I am not
abandoning in spirit the hard-rock miners for what they do, which if you
think about it, is magnificent. But having been conned twice, and having
passed along bad advice, it's time to move on. And I have some very precious
vacuum tubes I need to sell . . .
