Visegrip1, it does take a lot of reading to get to a position so nicely done. Apart from what you so nicely wrote I always go back to your point number 7 which is to follow the smart money. As for BMK and most recently NOT, when you have investors like Mr EcEwen taking a large position in any company, who am I to argue with that, but rather follow the smart money. It is obvious he has better insight to these projects and proving it by putting his money where is mouth is. Know that he does not like to lose I will follow him.
