Stewie;

Great post and thanks for grounding us when I think it could have gotten away--again. Always nice to see someone keep their head on strait when emotions get carried away.

Anyway--you are absolutly correct when you say-- the facts dont lie. They are what they are, and until the drill and trench results come in--- its all just pure speculation. However --may I just say a couple of things---QUACK, QUACK,QUACK,!! Nuff Said.

In defence of the "positive" side of the equation-- I just want to say, I try to be as positive as I can without being considered a "pumper" cuz --- well-- Rome wasn't built in a day, and it sure as heck was not built on "negativity".

The thing that keeps coming to mind is -- if you are only surrounded by negative thoughts and actions --- pretty soon--- you don't even look for the positive side-- and opportunity passes you by and you did'nt even know it was in your area. Its okay to be cautious, as long as you are cautiously optomistic. Pure Pessimism is not healthy cuz you really can't see the forest ---cuz the trees get in the way.

Bad as being distracted by a bunch of "quacking ducks" and tripping over the Gold Nuggets on your way to the Cruise Ship. By the way, have not seen your name on the guest list yet. Hopefully I did'nt miss it.

Not worried about the SP, just running out of funds to take advantage of this buying opportunity. Take care and great trading.
