whaler,

"What would give Randy Miller the ability to write like this? Is he bringing in some big guns with mining backgrounds? What will fulfill these statements made and bring in such results?"

As you are a self proclaimed long term investor of this company (ISM) how does it make you feel that Randy Miller had the ability to write like he did in his most recent news release, even though it wasn't about this company?

If he should manage to bring in "some big guns with mining backgrounds" for that company, does that not tell you something about this company?

Of course, your definition of "big guns with mining backgrounds" may differ greatly than mine. Who knows, maybe Stewart Jackson is in need of a new gig. Wonder if he's updated his bio(s) lately.

I noticed that ISM didn't trade a single share on Friday, also noticed that you didn't make any note of it. Wasn't Friday also 90 days plus two? Perhaps you should be wondering what gave Ian Stewart the ability to write like he did more than 90 days ago!
