I think you got it portee.... we are not the ones who can move the markets.... we just get caught in the downdrafts and updrafts (right now, downdrafts) .... I don't think this will change no matter what kind of regulations anyone tries to put in place.... we will struggle through the mud and eventually things will get better.... the $US will bloody our nose many times yet, but will eventually hit the mat and gold will soar, hopefully Kodiak will too.... just frustrating when we get into these potholes.... Kodiak will be a real bargain sometime this summer and maybe next winter will be the one that will give us the big winner..... we deserve it !!!!!!
