Kevin if you repeat my statements they at least have to be correct. I did not say they are incompetent as a reason for that I know they are not making any non-defensible investments. I said that is because they could not survive the social pressure in the small country of Sweden. All these guys are well established in a small community and would rather have a little, which is fair than risk their position for dollars they probably will lose when it becomes clear they have cheated. You do not know me and you do not know the country's culture, but you have clear opinions about both. Well . . .
