hey couch,

don't let the enthusiastic longs get to you, just do your trading and good luck. none of it will affect my holdings or the ultimate direction of the stock

a chat board will naturally pull towards the overly optimistic longs who protect their feelings and ambitions, albeit a bit too much sometimes.

and i agree they should keep their eyes open to counter points that are well founded and not lose their mind in the positive lovey feelings, however there is a lot behind the curtain to feel good about and you can't blame them either.

your comments about solo beamer are completely wrong. i know the guy personally, he has a great passion for geology. trust me you are way off base and jumping to wrong conclusions which in this case will not lose you money but that style of operating may lead you to unfounded other conclusions that do cost you money.

as for the Barrick comment, well it does seem ludicrous right? you have not been here that long and perhaps don't read the past posts. i had Hugh agro personally tell me the comparison to Barrick and he was not trying bluster me over. He meant it. i also had someone else prominent outside the company make that comment and they were not selling either.

as for some of the high talk, it probably warranted and my money is here to stay to find out and let it all play out. i think our odds are really good to be a monster company. see you have not read Marcus dissertation on cove like solo beamer has many times or i have read a few times, nor have you met them in person multiple times and spent hours and hours with them or visited the properties like i have. therefore you cannot expect to see what i or solo beamer or others who have spent time learning what is coming down the pipeline.

you might get some luck in jumping in and out of the stock but my guess is you will miss the huge jump up it will take one day and not come back down and my successful returns will trump your mini up and down moves some that are losers and some that are winners.
