Jessell, not a pint but a glass of wine and quite happy to discuss Prem. Alluded to it in a response to CF earlier as I don't understand the logic behind the revised KMW deal. At $1.4M that's a near 20% dilution to us to own 50% of a plant company. CF tells me it's means we'll get priority and cheap rates, great in a booming market when equipment is scarce (see oil rig drilling rates over last 10 years, huge swings and roundabouts depending upon busyness) but dire when it's not not. So what did our proposed plant hire company achieve last year, $7,000 turnover generating a $160,000 loss. Sort of suggests a none existent market so priority and cheap rates aren't really a problem. So at the minute all I can see is we'll be adding $80,000 (50%) to our overhead as that's what it costs this company to do nothing so will always be there. At the end of your post you say right organ grinder, based on past decisions which were evidently bad for us at the time I'm not too sure we have. It doesn't really matter whether people think somebody is a ramper or a troll more information would be better for all of us. There's been far too much of this Prem, doesn't make sense / competency in the past to want it to happen again when we're looking at 50% dilution. Personally I'd like to see see a document close to an IPO listing requirement if we're going to be asked to vote on this package. Most long tremors here will be circa 40-80% down even after averaging down. Whether it'll happen I doubt but if there really is an action group with sufficient clout to enable that to happen that's what I do, “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me three times, shame on both of us.”
