It's an old saying TP that if you look hard enough, you will always find somebody in worse shape than yourself. I read one of our sharper posters back when the srea plays started to get some attention, that they seldom work out. They might raise some money though.

While i was smiling at your findings a serious thought hit me. It isn't only these area plays that are suffering, almost all graphite stocks are. A few years back when the rare earths were popular, some of that rubbed off on graphite. They all had a run for a time but it cooled off. This is when I noticed. I seem to be late to the party too often. Then I read someone who said take a look at ZEN. Well, it appears ZEN may be the real deal. But all the dullness from the rare earth and initial graphite zeal might be a big factor holding our share price back. Too many waiting for proof? I'm glad AE doesn't have to raise money yet.
