I don't know what to think about all this. When I read that post back in September in which MJ posted that he bought 300,000 more shares, I was completely flabbergasted. I mean that was like a million dollar purchase, wasn't it ? Maybe he has that kind of money, maybe he doesn't. Don't know, but it didn't affect my thinking at my level.

I'm not sure why MJ would want to hold this stock down or tag NOT as a high risk, if he has as many shares as he says.  That makes no sense. Unless he is being overcautious. But he is experienced enough (presumably) to know a good thing when he sees it.

 I read almost all of the posts here and it's obvious that a number of you are intelligent, perceptive and experienced in mining and/or the market. I'd like to think that I have the first two covered, but I'm still a rookie at the last one.  So, I have come to my own conclusions about NOT (LONG) based on my own common sense and the MANY qualified opinions and posters here. Mining Junkie and Misfit are only two of them. The rest know who they are without me mentioning them.

Really, there's only three things to know : When to buy, when to hold and when to sell. Mind you, none of that is easy and it takes a lot of DD to even come close to determining all that. So, this board is invaluable in that right because many people here are doing the DD for the rest of us, including myself.

Maybe there's more people in here that are playing us. Who knows ? But I'm not going to be looking over my shoulder to see who's behind me. I'm looking forward. I trust my own better judgement and the overall advice that I've received freely from this board. However, if there are people here that have alterior motives, then so be it. Weed them out. But they won't affect the way I'm playing.
