"... but I honestly think the company has turned the corner from the dark days ... "

To a large extent I agree. BUT the QUESTION for me remains whether they have turned the corner to allow themselves to prosper or whether they have turned the corner to allow the shareholders to someday prosper.

They certainly were not willing to disclose to us what became of the missing 1000 ounces (roughly) of gold from 2nd quarter - WORSE yet the investor relations person tried to cover it up as a guy over at the other board (inquiring into this) was told that all of the gold was accounted for. (That is a big lie ...I didn't see where it went after reading through their report.) Is that being open and honest to their shareholders? I sure beg to differ with their opinion about the disclosure. In the very least I hope that eventually they are required to do disclose - as shareholders we do have the right to know ...........and that is what I mean .....they act like it is their business and not ours even though we are the ones who own the company!! Go figure. I'm all for them getting good reimbursement. But only if I TOO CAN GET GOOD REIMBURSEMENT someday!!!! I'm still sitting on an obscene loss with this company. But be that as it may for now. Bottom line is that all in all such behavior and/or "vibes" doesn't strike me as a company being open and honest to their shareholders. But that is just my opinion. Everyone has one. Ultimately though I'll be more than happy and delighted to see them prove me wrong someday.

On the very positive side certainly this company does have, and especially at this incredibly low market cap, a tremendous amount of potential IF, and I do emphasize IF, Atkins and company choose to UNLOCK that POTENTIAL for the shareholders (and in turn allow the stock price to move up far higher than where we are now). They can either turn this company into a gem for the shareholders or they can turn it into a complete dud until the 25th century. Obvously there are many variables that they have no control over (price of gold, market conditions, world economy, liquidity of cash, terrorism, world issues, etc.) BUT how well CSG runs this show from here on out, in my opinion, will play the strongest role in determining how well the stock performs in the years ahead.

At this point all I have is hope and optimism along with the reassurance that (ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL relative to peers) that the company is amazingly undervalued ....at least on paper. Selling at these levels is unacceptable for me. I'd rather risk losing it all rather than selling at "giveaway prices" and then kick myself for the rest of my life for "buying high and selling low near the bottom". The latter is not any way to invest.

Best of luck to you .......and to CSG and their shareholders in the years to come. I too plan on being around to benefit from that day in the future when we truly do have something to smile about ....provided of course that Atkins and company allow it to happen. My large bet is that they eventually will .......but I'll never bet my life on it nor my last dollar on it. ....I simply know better not to .......I've sacrificed enough already to their cause.
