My "time bomb"comment was not meant to be negative in an way, although I admit in retrospect it may be taken that way. My apologies for that.

To be accurate, this investment has been a time bomb for some months now. Since last May when it hit 40 cents the progress has been quite remarkable but the stock was at the mercy of the shady market game players of all nature...many of whom I submit neither understand or care about the fudamentals of such under-the-radar JPMs. That has all changed substantially to the positive despite the continued protests of SFMI's most suspect detractors. They are now on the losing side and they are beginning to get the message.

Anton, your posts have been most appreciated by me I know and you pour your heart into them. That kind of tenacity, research and dogged pursuit of details and anecdotal evidence takes a a lot of energy, intelligence and determination....and you know the NY mentality and geology to boot! With all the smarts of the longs here put together, we have a very dynamic and valuable forum. It has helped all of us, I am sure, to be more objective in our deliberations and our patinece. Doubt and fear can be very irrational monstors for us less-than-perfect human species. It is passion that runs the markets and the reason that mankind will always screw things up.

For some reason today is the first day for a long time that I have really become most optimistic again...not because I doubted the potential of SFMI but because of all the background noise that has been so disruptive. Water drip torture is effective. When I first talked with Rich several years ago, I remarked that this apparent resource was just too good to be true and he agreed. That may be the essence of why so many proof sources have been demanded for so long...and now we have them with much more to come very soon. It took 4 years. This is very good since it takes on average 7 years to bring a discovery to production ...and often hundreds of millions of dollars. And let us not forget that the Cartel/Cabal has spent billions and stolen billions over the last ten years discouraging any and all interest in the PMs and JPMs. They have been most successfl wit respect to the JPMs as this strata is now criminal undervalued and aout to explode. They have now come to their end game and what we are about to witness is these very powers of greed and arrogance now about to turn the junior prescious metals markets into a feeding frenzy over the next months and years.

Given all that, and to reflect upon what Anton posted earlier, those who wish to make fortunes in the gold/silver resource projects have to make their moves now or very soon. Any JPM with even a potential of 1 million ozs gold...all the way down to .5gm/t...is being pursued by someone. Silver is taking on a life of its own and we are looking at $400/oz. in the next year or so. Just imagine how eager they must be to snatch up a world class, high grade, turn key, multi million ounce, gold/silver deposit...while attempting to be "cool" about it. Looking cool has just gone out of flavor; looking laughable will be too costly. Time really does mean money now like no other "time".
