"Didn't happen today. With the drop in institutional x-trades very few shares are trading. There wasn't even a desire to take out a hundred on the Bid to knock it down a penny at the close I think we are now solidly in the wait and see mode. Hopefully not much longer on the wait."

Yep! And at the time I posted the "look for the drop" I was thinking that there will come a point when we go static. So I think your post nails it. If indeed we are at the wait in silence mode and no one is willing to try and shake this down further, it either means that we are very close to a significant move or the momentum has been neutralized and a desired price for the purpose of determining a premium has been achieved for now. Either way we have something of a wait. There is a lot we could expect from NOT at this point and for me there is also the prospect of outside interest which, for me, is within the realm of possibility. I do however believe that NOT has found a significant deposit and that it will be the event that precipitates what ever is coming down the pike.

Now mind you we're still getting a little interest from the ahhh....... unhappy posters and usually this dies down before the actual event to take place.
