Welcome back, Slowlane,

The Van Eck ETF, and not too long ago, I think it was Rob McEwen who launched a junior miners fund (Anyone who knows for sure please correct me if I'm wrong on the name, it's been a while and I don't have the time right now to go back and look it up)

Just another level of respectability for the Venture exchange. I read an article in the last couple of days in either the Globe and Mail, or the National Post (quick search couldn't find it) on the Pink Sheets cleaning up its act and gaining some respectability.

Bringing in new investors to a sector is a good thing to me. Maybe a little more attention to obvious manipulation (wishfull thinking).
