Robert and All:

Anyone who has been invested in the junior mining sector for awhile is bound to be a little "cranky." I spoke to many CEO's at the Denver Gold show a few weeks ago, and let me tell you, few were exactly ecstatic about what is going on in the markets right now.

Sentiment remains poor within the mining sector itself, so, understandably, it is going to be hard to keep a positive attitude among our small but growing Agoracom group.

All I can tell you involving the pessimism I saw in Denver, according to everything Jim Puplava and James Dines and Eric King have taught all of us, is that it is extremely bullish. All the mining guys moping around, bemoaning their fates. These guys are just about ready to make history and they still don't really get it. That's good for us as far as I'm concerned. Bull
