Both Cramer and Whiteside ( www.theuptrend.com ) have noted a technical buy signal for gold as of Thursday evening, I know that isn't reflected in all technical analyst reports yet, and the action on Friday (gold down $7.00) did not confirm in the short term either, but we could be in for an interesting few days as all the factors we have seen the past few weeks converge to push up the price of TDC.

I am not totally sold on the stock split idea, though I have sympathy with the arguments, but an undervalued stock at .19 seems much more attractive to me personally than one at $1.40 or so, the upside seems a lot greater and after all this time living with Tyhee (since 2005), volatility does not scare me much anymore. I think of Romarco again, as Baires often brings up. That is, if we are talking about optics (reverse stock split) which would appeal to a different, more conservative set of investors, optics having been the main argument so far, I would be more persuaded to buy more stock by substantive developments, i.e., good drilling results.
