Rook, are you saying, "if the dog hadn't stopped for a crap, he would have caught the rabbit?" (More production, higher grades, etc! Maybe SAN needs the mining expertise of a Goldcorp to move production to the next level. Many investors I speak to single out production and promo as the "weak links" in this play.)

Any improvement in these areas and $5.00 will soon be in the rear-view mirror!!

Of course bull markets have a tendancy to give even the weakest sisters a genius aura!

Irrational exuberance which will follow $1500.00 gold (no doubt a possibility under current circumstances and there will be rounds of backslapping, pounding of chests, egos inflated and more options for all in the "inner circle" whose only job then wil be to convince SHs that without them it never could have happened!)

Of course at that time, we, as designated peasant SHs, won't give a rat$ a$$ because we will outta here, smoking Cubans (I'm a nonsmoker) and slurping Tequila (also a tee-totler although I do imbibe in the occasional Bud Lite Lime) in some floating bar on the Baja! Already got mine picked out and the first round is on me!)

Never again to invest in another TSX-Venture gold play in my life!

After all is said and done, most who are still around forthe last exuberant march of gold will admit we've certainly harboured one thing, "unadulterated hor$e$hit luck!"
