I remember buying BEMA gold in the 90's and at that time there were no chat rooms but I can imagine the negativity and pumping that would have be written, like they're in Russia/Solviet Union-high risk, gold in Peru under a mountian? I think it was Peru can't remember anymore to many years ago. Also that there were way to many Bema shares out there? etc...I watched Bema go from where I bought around a dollar to nine only to come down to 3 or so and sit bounce around there for months, my guts just churned as I kept on imagining I should have sold at nine, but patience prevailed and a year so I unloaded at 20 and several weeks/month later I think was bought out at around 29. So now I don't worry as much, mind you I still worry but not as much. There's alot of people in the area and they would not be there unless there is something there! There's my story for a boring morning, good day to all! Jokal
