“Go to your big broker at Canarim or the guys in Calgary, but I
have to assume the operator is taking you for a ride. Why has this
cash call come so soon. I don’t like it,” Eteo said, getting up to signal
that the conversation was over.
Richard, still uncomfortable and nervous, got up and shook
Eteo’s hand almost reluctantly.
“Well, if you know someone who might like to take this stock,
I’d appreciate it,” he said, trying to hide his resentment.

Shortly afterwards, Richard phoned him to say thank you, and
Eteo wished him all the best in return.
“Keep an eye on where this goes,” Richard added. Eteo promised
