BOUTs: apology accepted and appreciated by all here, including myself. I realize we can all get carried away by our own enthusiasms or anger or emotions at times. So, let's move on. By the way, I myself have learned through my own mistakes on many BBs over the years.

Pic: DC has answered your questions very well and understands the naked short crimes that occur ubiquituous in both Canada and the U.S. I am fairly worn out from years of protesting against it and have yet to understand it's depth, opacity or complexity as it almost seems a moviing window. I think I have mentioned here that J. Willie actually accused Canaccord Capital in Canada, in writing, of being the Canadian conduit for the U.S. Banks for naked shorting ALL of the JPM market via the Vancouver exchange. Mr. Willie has never been challenged for such a bold statement that is blatantly liable, if untrue. As for the U.S. side, with the big banks/Fed. behind the criminal suppression of gold, silver and their stocks, one can only imagine the blind eye that is given to all manner of devious behavior. It has to be overwhelming at this very juncture. Juniors needing credit/capitalization are mere fodder. Juniors with real resources will be specially targeted and being gutted for very cheap takeovers... in both countries. I could list 50 minimum, so SFMI is in good company.

Pic, I sent you a stock tip that is, right now, a good example of what a hedge fund or funder can do to a junior. In this case, guess who, Canaccord is in the mix as it took down a public offering wiith warrants. The stock has been subject to continuous, relentless selling via good old 'anonymous', day after day. Great news is on deck and the upside could be spectacular .... but just the same, huge shorting, or maybe even naked shortiing is ongoing... and this junior is oil. If what J. Willie purports is true, these guys are having a hay day all over the place screwing retailers and the pubcos they 'fund'. Of course it is normal busineess for soome of them to make dough by legal shorting as well, but one can quickly appreciate the leverage in naked shorting. We (and manageents of juniors) are helpless to do anything abbout iit.

With respect to SFMI we have so many shady factors that can influence the trading that one hardly knows where to begin; where to try to peek under the curtain of mass fraud in these markets. Imagine the 'fun' the typical scuz type traders are having and have had with SFMI. You/we are are pretty well jawed out on the possibilities fo a 'SFMI', as they are mind boggling starting with the shares outstanding, managment integrity/track record, managment decision making, etc.,etc. But you know all this. The other factor that is most insidious is the fact that, in oder to keep the scams going, trading has to be continuosly encouraged, and that means there has to be coninuous support or even pumping of the junior concerned. This will include the likes of me naively reporting all the positives in support, mixed in with paid poasters who do the same .... along with their cubicle buddies who bash. They work for companies that have preknowledge as to when and how much gold and silver will be taken down. Easy money eh? How can an honesr investor win? They can't. Hence we see the imminent destruction of over 1/3 of all the stocks on the TSX junior exchange. This is a PLAN that is now succeeding enegized by the manipulation of the paper gold and silver prices.

By the time physical separation from paper prices reaches the critical stage, most investors have been destroyed, just about where we are now. By such a time any management teams are done, hat in hand. New money comes in to take over the carcass and generously offers peanuts for the hide, underneath which is a pile of gold or silver at the price of lead. after that, we see untold fortunes made to the upside.

At least, thats the way I see it.
