Come on Portee, old buddy, old friend, pull the trigger on that 1,000,000 share market order you've been holding your finger over for the last six months. You know you wanna do it so do it. My girlfriend will thank you, my dog will thank you, M will thank you as will Explorationguy. Slixty-six cents doesn't sound so bad when you consider how often companies do this deed well below market value at say .30 or so. So be happy. At least you don't live in Quebec where we face yet another provincial election and maybe yet another bloody referendum vote on Quebec separation from the R.O.C. (rest of Canada). Or worse still back in the USA where billions are spent on choices between candidates who get millions from the lobbists to vote their way and other candidates who get millions from other lobbists to vote yet another way.

Have a great one and drink several Ripples for me.
