Over the past several weeks, there has been much discussion on "when do I sell my shares???" That statement has given most of us food for thought, and probably dreams and restless nites for a few. Understandably so---no one wants to get caught with their britches down, or have someone tell you----"I told You, you should have been satisfied with those double gains.!!!

Do I sell half now that they've doubled,---let the rest ride????

Do I wait till they triple---take two thirds out, which is investment plus profit, and let the rest ride??

Do I wait for the Big Bubble---sell all--- and buy back when and if they drop??

These, plus many other thoughts, are things I hear quite a bit these days from the people who are invested in SLI. I also hear the ones who say--I'm in it to the end, just keep me informed if you don't mind.

Everybody has their own comfort zone, and with that, the ability and right to do what they think is best. Hopefully they make an informed decision based on discussion, DD, and most importantly---Trenching assay results---and drill sample results.

Those two results---Trenching and Drill assay results--- will in fact tell us if the quacking bird is in fact --- a Duck.

We have all been invested in SLI, varying amounts of time---some 11 years--some 8 years---some 2 years---others only months. It really doesnt matter how long youve been here, ---what matters is that you are here cuz you believe in what SLI and its managment team can do for you. Give them a chance to do what they do best---LEAD.

You just have to be patient, and trust that our managment can and will tell us when they think they have done as much as they can for us---and that its time to accept the big offer.

I honestly do not think you will be joining us on the SS St Elias, if you sell when the SP doubles. I, for one, hope to be shaking the hands of all of you who have the patience and trust to wait for the BIG ONE---cuz IMO, it is coming. Its not IF--its WHEN.

As I've said before---It's my opinion and---you know. Good luck and Loooonnng SLI.
