"It may be their last kick at the can so to speak to scare the willy nillies out of their nest eggs. With the almost certain announcements of substantial monies flowing into road or rail construction one envisions quite a jump in share values for these companies in the not too distant future. This is just my opinion but of course I could be way off base. Makes me wonder why some people are bailing at this juncture? I don't get it. I'm holding very very tight to my shares. the deputy"

I think you answered your own question and the very small volume trading now is a holding pattern. There still may be a bit of a drop to go in an attempt to shake some out but it will also be on very small volume because.....no one is really selling. I did sell most of my NOT a while back and made a few pennies on GNH which I then also sold a portion of. It then dropped and I picked up more shares for free. My expectation is that NOT will at the most start to move up slowly from here but I'm gambling on it being static for a short time yet. In the meantime I'm waiting for GNH to move up a bit more. After that I'll buy more NOT again which should be before the witching hour if my aim is correct. What ever the outcome.... I've still added to my capital. I refuse to ride any stock down. I have my tolerance and then I'm out. I got out of my RE stocks and looking at them lately....sure glad I did. This game can be done with some peace of mind.
