So, it's come to this. A sense of despondency setting in among our leading citizens. Ye of little faith I share your concern but it's too early to throw in the towel. The mood is dark but It's always darkest before the dawn. Let me try to shine some light on that darkness.

The remainder of this post is directed to the Harrells and their 1/19 message..

Your comments on Omagine's market makers was welcome,enlightening, appreciated and relevent, providing information to an area in which few of us, myself included, have little exposure. Well done.

Your comments warrant a"Hallerlujah" (Note: this warrant here has no expiration date). If, indeed, the market makers are keeping Omagine's stock price down, they have created an unsustainable situation and in the process have created a great buying opportunity. Sooner or later, and hopefully sooner, a surge of buying should enter the market and break the market makers dam and flood them out causing them to cover their shorts... and also as their derriere (which involves another kind of shorts).

Aproppos of a buying surge, I recently took it upon myself to mail a lengthy, detailed letter to 2 highly regarded analysts at 2 major newsletters with large subsbscription bases extolling the virtues of the Omagine Project in the hope that they would recognize its long term intrinsic value and hope to see fit to act on it. i gave it a shot.
