"How can Noront compete with FCU when absolutely no promotion, no drilling, no permitting and no IBA with anyone is being done?"

First off, it's quite clear that you're an investor in FCU and were probably hoping NOT would sit idle while your FCU went to "da moon". You could then cash out of FCU and pick up "cheap" NOT shares. It's is also clear however that you do in fact know the Noront story quite intimately. Maybe you're bitter or what not.

But if you honestly don't know the answer to your above quote, then it is you who should do some more DD rather than spouting off in frustration why your "sure bet" FCU isn't as sure as you thought. Remember, just because you can't make sense of the market doesn't mean there isn't sense to be made. Same goes for us Noronters, it's crystal clear to me why we fell from grace years ago. If one can't admit to themselves their investing mistakes, then you'll never be able to avoid them in the future. You're so frustrated and bitter with noront from years ago, that it's as if you somehow blame NOT for your FCU debacle by coming here and comparing the two and telling us all that FCU should be outperforming the "crappy" noront. Gimme a break. Honestly.
