After reading my own comment, I should post a reason for sounding a bit negative.

I got bit hard on the butt by BRE-X, and saw most of my RRSP vaporize. Fortunately, I was still under 30, but the loss of $20k stung me hard. Since then, I don't speculate on mining stocks as much, and stick to the news to move my sentiment, not a pretty coloured picture. I am truly hopeful that Spider digs deep into the motherload of the RoF, the stock hits $2 or more and we can all retire on the shares that we have held, some (like me) for almost 10 years.
