To echo ANL:
Yes all of us who have been with this stock a few years or more know too well and along with that are just as much frustrated.

I am recently retired but pension is measily, just enough for me to now spend part of the year in Europe (at relatives) instead of short winter breaks in southern States when I was working.

I also need near a buck to get even ( third is long hold averaging about 2$, another 1$ and remainder a quick trading portion averaging about 60 cents ) and was all enthusiasm when results of hole 49? came out in 2009. Only thing I was against then was change in managment. Much of that enthusiasm went away by 2011.

Now I am still as optimistic as ever but it is only about the quality of the nickel ore. I also have high hopes regarding permits but the timing is depressing. When I get depressed I take a few sips of red wine, not too much because Al Cool is also depressing in quantity, lol.

So Seahawks be patient with us because some of us may be finding your highly enthusiastic comments depressing. We were there some 5 and 7 years ( famous sp =7$s ) ago.
I frequently curb my enthusiasm about the ore despite appearances. I think it was you? recently said that my comments are negative. Perhaps these two posts help you understand the why of some of the negativity.

Patience is a virtue, so I have been told, but it does not feel as such at this time.
