The Big Financials/Institutionals are not working this market to get their money 'BACK. They are working the Markets to take as much of every one else's money they can get their hands, feet, teeth, eyes, and every other tool at their disposal, on. Same for the Hedge Fund Types as well. While they battle each other they also hit as many of their own clients as possible. Anyone to have gone out on Margin since last November (if not last February,2007) were only begging all these big guys to lift shares out of their pockets at a very considerable discount to real value. The single best thing to happen to the Mineral Resource Exploration Sector since January 2007 was Noront Resources Double Eagle EAGLE 1 Discovery! Many other Juniors benefited greatly by this very unexpected Discovery, as the Cool MAGOOs were stating for months that ALL THE BIG DISCOVERIES WERE ALREADY FOUND as they prepared the Junior Market for the BIG STEAL they were in advanced planing on. The DE1 Discovery upset their plans big time and many Juniors were able to top up on cash through new PP's mostly at prices much better than they could have hoped for in August 2007. At present we are simply riding out the storm and doing so in relatively very goof fashion. It is important to note that there will be occasional breaks in the Storm but the storm will persist for some time more. When the approaching lul in the storm occurs it will be a good time for many to get out and make necessary repairs to the ship before lashing themselves to the Mass again to ride out subsequent stormy periods. In trying to do this, just keep very well in mind that the Bigger the Big Boy, the better their tools to forecast stormy periods and relative calm periods as well. While the Storms rage, it is comforting to know Noront Resources is in a very good position, relative to the stormy, choppy seas, as they continue, methodically, to navigate they way around the shoals and avoid the traps and nets set by some of the bigger boys, as they continue to prove up their most spectacular Discovery (S). When the stormy seas are looking threatening there will be periods when Noront Resources, FULL MASSED, will fly along at astonishing speed. And it is due to times of very quick movements that being very careful trying to time the situation is absolutely necessary, should any even want to try doing the TIMING Challenge.
