It has been interesting to see all these gloom and doom postings today. I have only been doing my own online investing for 3 years(as a matter of fact the only 3 years I have invested in the markets). Two of the 3 years I have down well for the size of my portfolio. The one year I missed I can thank the government and there Trust reversal, enough intro.

My observation is this, all these analysts who step forward and get headlines are the ones who tend to be enspousing the trend. If the market is bullish the media focus on the opinions of the bulls. If it is bearish the bears get to sound their party lines. It has been a very interesting observation. I noted this with the march of oil to the mid $70 down to the $50 mark and now into the 90's. That said the value of NOT has nothing to do with the general market trend , NOT will be it's own trend setter regardless of commodity prices or the swing of the market. What we have here is a rich ore body and as such it will be a mine regardless. The demand for the metals NOT has found is high and some of them rare. A major is going to want this property. As stated here many times before the only issue is at what price? So for the longs sit back and watch NOT, not the market.

Keep the faith.
