the comment that this story is not meant for new investors is exactly that. The company has not and does not promote itself to the retail investors. The last time we saw a news magazine, a mining article or Company produced brochure was a long time ago. The website only recently got updated. They do not care about retail investment is the impression I get. Unless of course they are soliciting interest in a possible PP, I would bet the retail investor is not a priority. IMHO

You say you are a new investor, well how did you hear about ISM and when you did, how did you go about finding information before you invested?

As for what is behind the run up, it's pretty obvious it's the run-up in anticpation of the Micon report coming out as announced last November when they said "mid December. They have since updated us on that possible date and to me it looks like the buying pressure comes from the crowd finally see a completion of the long awaited Micon reports and the SGS Metallurgical study to be released in conjunction with that report. Buy on rumour?

How it runs up is a function of the fine balance between buyers and sellers. Supply and demand. And yes this could be another of many false starts. We won't know till we are looking back in the rear view mirror later........... :) and we either have a report or we don't.

Make note of who is pounding the bids now. As usual they are not on the board or the visible asks....wouldn't want it to get away on us now would we? See the buyer has been active for the last few days.
