for Noront, and it is our wish and hope that all of us will finally, in 2011, reap the benefit of holding this stock, and that the games and manipulations are over and the market will truly see what an outstanding geological find Noront has in the ROF.

Lets never forget that Noront is strictly an investment, no more no less. At the end of the day we wlll sell and move on to others that we hope willl find the lost treasure.

My friend who is a pastor, was called out early on xmas day to assist a family who was about to lose their mother. He .provided them with spiritual comfort.. Today he told me that the couples only son, had a heart attack this morning and died, he had just left the father. A family devastated within five days and yet he said the father wanted to make sure that his grandchildren received the the "joy of rejoicing in the birth of the lord" and that his family would not remember these as sad days but as days that his wife and son were recalled to be with the lord. Surely this puts all our issues with NOT into some perspective.

These are times to enjoy family, problems or thoughts re what has happened with Noront need to take a back seat to enjoying family and friends. Over these years I have been fortunate in making "friends " of a few people on this forum, folks I've never met but have a lot of respect for. To each of them and everyone who takes time to post on this forum may god bless you and your family and for all of us good health in 2011.
