As I noted earlier...my dream here is that "only" registered shareholders... at the time of their postings.. could post to this board.  This would eliminate confusion.  If MJ sold he shares it his business.. if he has none now he is not a shareholder and should not be part of the discussions..  I'm sure if any company wants to they can make it possible to filter the board to a point where shareholders are consistently checked against a company database and locked in and out of the site within minutes of purchase or sale of the stock.

I for one...without the assistance and input of Mining Junkie and Misfit1, would likely have released my shares (damn fear of losing too much), but with their input I was consoled enough to hold long. 

I'm saying we have to keep everyones opinion and input in check with reality.  I only see MJ coming down a bit from the euphoria that we had a couple of weeks ago.  At that time everyone was ready to take a rocketship to the moon, even if the rocketship had no safety features.  Its what finding what could be the "motherlode" does and also what management actions parlay to their investors.  If we think MJ was pumping then.. what was RN doing??..  

We all have to invest using Due Diligence.  We all have to be responsible for our own reasons to buy... We all like to get the advice of someone we feel is in the know.  Personally I take everyones posts with a grain of salt..holding more to the facts (or lack thereof) that are being offered.  MJ facts are what kept my in this play.  There's also no law stating you can take profit and buy back in lower..you don't even have to be a swing trader to do that.  It can be classified as smart investing...sell half once you double and hold as cash...buy in lower or hold the cash once the opportunity affords itself.  

Is MJ creatively bashing the stock??... I guess we all have the right to have our own opinion... I see some reality in his post... maybe its a bit sobering when I don't want "sober" right now..but nonetheless we all must be thinking "what if" scenerios to protect our investments.  Maybe we're just not saying it out loud right now.  That's our business and noone elses.. 

For the record...I for one am holding my investment in NOT with no problems doing so...there is too much here to keep the price support high...NOT has too much to offer its shareholders... this is a quiet time and doubts always come to the top like cream on the old bottles of milk...  that's all...nothing more...don't worry....be happy.. :)
