pillow: I think MRP will do just fine, but it is interesting.
Novice: "didn't want to stay on and work his way to the top" Well Major isn't exactly bottom rung.
What surprises me here though is how PI's seem all to eager to trash TM, both in MRP and his Army career, which seems pathetic to say the least,
What I do know is the hours the guy puts in 'over and above the call of duty'. MRP will come good (although its asset base already has).
The JV was a major achievement, literally...and TM should have received much credit for it, where I still think too many PI's are blinkered to what that will mean for the fortunes of MRP.
Many posters really dont seem to be able to see the wood for the trees, and where many doubters posted relentlessly against MRP, whilst the JV partners validated MRP's own views of the Calvin Field, and with much much more to come and where many of the usual suspects doubted a JV would occur, but then rapidly had to change to critising the JV that had.
Before investing in MRP people should acknowledge it is a long term play (although not so long now IMHO), and be prepared to be patient.
