From that smae blog....further down in the discourse...

Mr. Cara:

With respect to your response to that false Yahoo post...it's good to see that you defended your position and set the record straight. I say this as a KRY long who, with many other longs, left the Yahoo board after witnessing it devolve into a cesspool of insults and false information (The false Dow Jones "Permit Denied" press release posted by someone on Yahoo almost gave me heart failure). There should be a law. I must say that it didn't come as good news when you changed your opinion of Crystallex after the departure of Todd Bruce. I have continued to hold given my circumstances but do miss your endorsement of my investment.

EEMTRADER, thanks

I also tried making my first video on the TinyURL link, but low resolution and not as good as the other one I found. If it's not broke don't fix it.

I'm currently looking at slide show techniques to visually expand on the details for charts, screen shots and annotations.

I'll update that same page as we go along.

GWHatesMidgets,

With juniors, I have to follow the jockeys and trainers in order to find the winning horses. A horse can have all the potential in the world, but it takes more than talent to win the race. I too was really disappointed in the people who pull the strings at Crystallex. I didn't know Todd Bruce until I saw him on TV and thought to myself that just maybe I was doing a disservice to you all by being harsh on Crystallex. Todd, and his CFO and their auditor being on the same page turned me around. I already liked their VP of IR, so I got into it. I brought an expert with me and he got into it because he too was really impressed with Todd Bruce.

At the end of the day, a winner is developed, not born. Nothing comes easy in life. Crystallex has a beauty of a property, but that's all they have going for it.

Have you ever wondered why Iran, Iraq and, to an extent, Afghanistan are a mess with so much natural wealth, while Dubai (or places like Macau, Singapore, Hong Kong, etc) with so little going for it, relatively speaking, can turn out to be world-class gems?

Yes, it's the jockeys and trainers. The people pulling the strings at Crystallex need to look themselves in the mirror and admit where the problems are. Venezuela is a challenge, but so too are many others in the world where huge successes have managed to happen. There were good, hard-working people who made those successes.

It was my hope that the Goldfields, Gold Reserve and Crystallex properties could have been amalgamated and packaged to a major buyer approved by the govt of Venezuela. That country needs, and I feel wants, to develop those resources, but there are reasons, probably related to Chavez, why it's not happening.

Let's wait til Jock returns to get an independent and objective assessment. The reason why I lost my interest is because all that I see happening there is a circus. Maybe Jock has a different take.

Thanks Bill. You are a class act.
