Kryholder....in a nutshell...the big upward move in share price today has been attributed by some to be a conspiracy between crooked management, the bankers that did the recent financing and corrupt Vz officials in order to manipulate share price to ultimately fleece KRY long retail investors at some unspecified future date....the other camp contends that developments in the mining sector appear to be positive and the permit should be issued any day in keeping with the public statements of Vz., and KRY management. This camp also (apparantly) believes that the recent financing was necessary and is a positive development toward ultimately developing Las Cristinas into a functioning, productive mine. Neither of the two camps has any inside information regarding recent developments. Hope this helps. Peace 'n Luv....George.
