The following two paragraphs contain very key comments.

From the Allan Barry Report:

"Due to the extreme market volatility over the last six months, investors have been highly risk averse toward stocks in general regardless of the industry. Nonetheless, capital is available, as we have seen many companies in the last few months raise a lot of funds for exploration and development. Funds are flowing in a big way toward precious metals stocks with projects in mining friendly countries that have returned significant drilling results or are at advanced stages of development.

Recently investors have been pouring money into the US Dollar, Treasuries and Gold which has led to a lot of cash parked in these assets. Treasuries are looking stretched with very low yields but there are probably some opportunities in corporate bonds. US Dollar fundamentals are not good because they are printing cash likes it’s going out of style to fund the economic stimulus plans and these efforts suggest downside risk is high for the US Dollar. When investors gain confidence and start looking for higher returns, stocks in general will benefit as will gold and other commodities."

And I will not comment on the contents other than to make two points.

1) As I have been stating in contrast to a few Scare Mongers on the NOT Forum and even here with respect to the current proposed SPQ PP:

"Nonetheless, capital is available, as we have seen many companies in the last few months raise a lot of funds for exploration and development."

So much for the silly postings about being lucky to get new cash now, when it is not needed!

2) As I have been periodically reminding and or hinting, there is, and will be, plenty of Financial Resources looking to Invest, and for Very Long Term Security and at decent rates of Earned Interest Returns:

"Recently investors have been pouring money into the US Dollar, Treasuries and Gold which has led to a lot of cash parked in these assets. Treasuries are looking stretched with very low yields"

And some of this money will go directly back into Stocks, as is already evident to some extent. BUT much more of it will be looking to secure a reasonable Rate of Return via High Quality Corporate Bonds. And thus, plenty of Funds available to develop many Mines, Mills, and perhapse even a Smelter or Two, along with what ever necessary Infrastructure that these Mines, Mills, and what ever ELSE is deemed Required and/or Profitable to whom ever seeks to Build in the JBL area including OUR RoF.

And WHO is now going to say the Big Boys need to get their Low Buy In's and all that BS STUFF we have been subject to around these Forums for far too long.
