"That's the best thing to do while time goes by. My ten-bagger on NOT, in my head, will be reached by 2013-14."

Well there's the reason for the difference in temperaments B.B. I personally don't think that you'll see 2013 with NOT shares in your hand. I believe the timeline is much much .....much shorter than that. That's why the sp is significant to me on more of a daily basis as I expect the sp is down for a very specfic reason which I'm sure you know. If NOT lives that long without being picked off I will be very surprised. If NOT does live that long without doing a 10 bagger before that I'd say there was something seriously wrong.....the economy.....an ineffective exploration team or something of the like. I suspect however that NOT has the goods and others will possess them before long. FWR,SPQ...BMK in the process. Unless NOT has something coming very soon in the nature of a welcomed alliance with a major or something unique, I see it being taken before too long. As things stand today, it doesn't seem that there are any majors who are willing to do fairly by a junior. If they can take it for less then why wouldn't they in the present environment.... so I'm not particularly optimistic about any buy-ins....particularly with the likes of what we've seen with Cliff and now the new kid on the block with BMK. For me it will be up to the skills of the BOD to pull some real magic out of their hats to survive the gauntlet of the majors.... but ya know... if any group could do it I think they could.

Just my opinions.
