There are many people who feel the same way as you just described; I am one of them, but still optimistic moving forward. In fact,  there is so much misinformation out there specific to KRY that we should not be basing our hopes and dreams on any shred of news and wish the stock price higher. Unfortunately, the big boys (institutional investor) who can move this market are really the boys who will push this stock higher and that will happen when KRY gets the offical green line when the permit comes. When these guys get their insider news leaks (the market is not fair we all know that), usally from insiders who are also loading up, the signs will be shown in increasing volume with the corresponding upticks in stock price. We need more buyers then sellers and if the volitiltiy is significant, supported with Volume, then the MM is less able to manipulate the stock price. I do not know when the permit will happen and do believe it will as the people of Venezula need the project. Crystallex has experience working in Venezula and by their own ommission admitted that their time line to completion operated on a different schedule than ours. Staying the course.
