Daryl,

A similar group here would find themselves equally busy at company AGMs.  
Bruce Shepherd showed what is possible at the last BRY meeting.  What a 
flag bearer he was for the disgruntled many.

Makes me think about an item I heard on Morning Report today. 'E-ventures 
are not forcasting any first year revenues or profits'.  I found myself 
shaking my head in disbelief upon hearing it.  What sort of business plan 
is that?  My lawnmowing contractor has revenue and profit forecasts.  

Of course, E-ventures lenders would have demanded such figures but with 
100% scrip funding they are not around to ask.

How does the situation look for readers of this forum who are keen on 
E-ventures?

Regards,

Chris
