Monday is a Cdn Holiday. The TSE will be Closed Monday 01Sept08.

Just reading BMOIS Courtesy Letter stating Instructions must be Recvd prior to 02Sept08 9am EST, Tuesday.

Which means ... an Offer should be in front of our eyeballs by THIS Friday, 29Aug08, by 9 AM EST.

That's FOUR Trading Days left. No, that's really THREE Trading Days left.

1. Tuesday, 2. Wednesday, 3. Thursday and 4. 9 AM Friday Morning!

Let's hope at this moment some Gold Company's CEO, somewhere in the World, is sitting alone in his Office, wording his Offering Letter.

At least, laying in Bed thinking about how he's going to word his Offering Letter.

At Least, tomorrow morning calls his Execs in to get some suggestions as to PRICE!

OK then, At the very Least, tomorrow on his Coffee Break, someone at the table comes up with the idea to make a Bid!

Maybe we can send some Members of our Board to Case the Offices of the Major Gold Cos to report back as to which ones have their Night Lights burning this week!

What if they're all on Holidays, Fishing, laying in the Sun, and enjoying themselves so much that they forget about us!

Hmm maybe too they won't make a Bid until the Kinross Bid expires unsuccessfully. That's a big gamble to take. Maybe not. The Offer is so crappy maybe they're confident it won't succeed.

Geez this is going to be some week! Surely they wouldn't wait until Monday or Tuesday to make a Bid.

Oh I don't care right now what they do. I'm not doing anything with my shares anyway so I'm prepared if and when a Bid surfaces.
