Good Day Folks,

I have not posted for a while now, but faithfully read these posts from our strong board. I am noticing a trend of posts focusing the board towards the suspected shorters and the sp manipulation. I have thought at times that we would see a significant short position against us - but to no avale when the public data is available to view this position. The naked shorts and margin accocunts are difficult to assess my opinion on as I can't understand why this is allowed to happen. The root cause for this concern is not that it is happening, it is the lack of interest in our play (buying) at the moment.

However, that said I am 100% convinced that somone is playing with the sp. No if, ands or buts. It has been extremely difficult to sitback and watch this stock get pushed around a will. We all are frustrated with it but this would not be of any concern if we had stronger buying power lately. It is beyond my ablitlity to understand this position that we are presently in. This has been seen on a daily basis for months now.

Where is all the buying from all the world tours that have taken place (hopefully down the road when the big insitutional players come on board?). As a short term result we have seen nothing from these and this is very dissappionted from a shareholders point of view. Given this scenero it has enabled whoever it is doing this manipulation, to play this stock like a fiddle.

We all suggested that once quantec shows what we have, once the permit comes, once we have news about the plan that we will not be looking back. Wow has that been a let down with what has resulted since these events have taken place. This is what become dangerous with the sp and the shareholders confidence levels. it is palying right into the hands of the manipulation process.

I am long with SLI, don't intend to sell until we see what the drills produce, but it has been painful of late to watch this going on with no interest (buying) to combat this concern. Not every shareholder is long and strong like most of us say we are, so we also have some disgruntaled people selling off shares with the fear of declining sp and therefore these people manipulating the sp have less work and effort to achieve their results.

The rollercoaster ride has been a bit too long getting to this stage causing a lack of interest to build. We certainly have lots on the go, now we need the ability to get it down. Get the flipp'n drilling rigs going up the hill and drill some holes(should have been ready to go!) Get the drill rigs going at Vilcoro (permit completed in August!), Get the trenching completed (5 weeks) and assays released on all the back logged samples, then we will turn the corner again on upside for this ride (end of June). Until then - we are in for a painful battle of sp manipulation with what appears to a lack of interest.

It is time for management to show their strength and gett'er done!

Go Long.......
