Don't mean to be the "lead pipe" of the group, but I'm guessing Jan. 31, 2011 for the permit. My hunch (and of course I could be way off) is that they were promised a permit by Feb. 1st. That is based on 5 months since the end of August ...which is likely what the government bases their time frame on. So ....don't be surprised if we don't see it until the very end of January. With that said though I would rather catch the flu then sell any of my SLI shares. A month and a half more of waiting is (although still annoying for everyone, no doubt) is a small price to pay for the big payday as this story unfolds itself. In the meantime, take up a hobby, focus on work, reading .........whatever it takes......to maintain focus on the bigger picture.
