Pat Martin certainly nailed it about Ritz.

Why not an IPO for the CWB by holders of former permit books to begin with?

It would either show the support or lack of.

The only thing more loose than Pat Martin's tongue is the screw in his head.

[Braveheart]

Anyone who'd put any stock in Pat Martin is out of their freakin mind.

Yes but I am getting tired of the valentine of secrecy for the cwb.

It was bad before the way they did business and worse now when they are selling it.

There has to be some farmer equity in it. We were deducted costs every year and given scraps as a final. Gotta wonder where all the money went?

[bucket]

Vale of secrecy. Not valentine.

[stonepicker]

cwb is in the process of turning into a private co., what are they supposed to tell you? Do you sell grain through the board?

[bucket]

As I said above, offer to those stakeholders that want it. Firstly sell it to farmers.

Then if farmers want to "WIT" it they get their money out like WIT shareholders did.

Nope I don't use them but I might when they get their infrastructure put together.

I don't use them but for the same reasons I don't use paterson, conagra, adm etc because they are not visible locally.

Having ADM throughout the prairies will certainly shake our industry. Would be nice to see them build a few more crushers, especially for soybeans in mb.

Little graincos like paterson and PH could be next to disappear. It would be ironic as they were big cwb haters. I could never understand why, all they had to do is collect grain and get paid handle and storage.

Best deal in the whole area is CWB elevator in Kindersley--grades,dockage,price and movement.
