Look, I could care less if some investors are conservative, liberal, all out "nuts" or what have you. Like rear ends, every body has an opinion...some are more attractive than others...

But to say that Noront is "specualtive" and therefor "there are a lot of negatives to look at" is silly gibberish, and negates entirely the information that has been coming out in the form of new releases, interviews, presentations etc. It is blindly painting over all that is known to be, with worthless mindless crud. Is that clear enough?

I have been with this company and it's management team (as a shareholder) for the better part of 18 years. I am not aware of any negatives to consider. A "negative" perhaps in my simplistic world view, is something that did not work out, or meet expectations, a "set back". Something along those lines.

Spectacular drill results, on the other hand, to my simplistic way of looking at things, is a "positive", a "good thing", something that "increases value", makes me smile, etc.

See the difference?

Speculative or "the unknown" is something that is neither positive or negative until such time as facts are revealed. The facts that have been revealed with Noront, and their delightful portfoio of properties, have been pretty sweet. The drill results are extending the find and the grades are holding up. We have barely touched a fraction of our land holdings. More drills are coming. Staking is at a fevered pitch. All good things.

The "specualtive" part of the story has yet to unfold. What has unfolded is no longer "specualtive". It is reality. And it seems to be the kind of reality that is getting a lot of interest from some pretty impressive companies that specialize in this type of reality.

Pumping a stock, again in my simplistic view, is the intentional dissemination of unfounded information. That has not happened on this board. What I have seen (and I read every word and carefully...comes from my lawyering background...we tend to be anal retentive about these things) is the expression of a desire for further success based on the facts that we have to date tempered by an appreciation that we are at the preliminary stages of quite possibly a world class find.

What problems do you have with that?

Oh, and by the way, I've seen my fare share of prisons...that lawyering thing again...and there ain't nothing positive to be said about them...unless of course you happen to be leaving one.

You are, of course, welcome as a new poster; however, spare us the trite gibberish, or the unnecessary defending of those who choose to be neagtive in the face of positive facts.

Alright. Enough said. Time to check the old blood pressure, toss in some tranqs and back to sleep....ah, sleep...perchance to dream...

Wake me at $20.00!
