Glorieux,

There are many that have taken leave and appeared to have moved on for whatever the reason. What happened to Johndefur or Cylinder for example; nothing from them for some time now.

For some it may be censorship and others just need a break from markets hopefully to recharge their batteries to return as opposed to gone forever. A break is a healthly strategy as opposed to burning out. I have been there.

I don't have to tell you that it has been difficult for many who have just lost the faith not only in NOT, but the market in general. We are re-writing the history books and we will look back on this correction (which is probably not over yet, but hopefully soon) with disbelief and wonder how we survived it, but we will and the sun will rise as per usual. NOT will have much better days ahead when the general overall economy improves which will be some time into the future; patience is now a big part of our overall strategy. Off course if we can confirm another E1 with similar nickel then away we go....
