Keen eye, Paek.

Yes, it's a little but it means a lot to me. My excitement in this play is heavily weighted in Dudek himself.

The guys track record is pretty impressive...he's a proven winner and I truly got the impression that he's a very, very picky guy and he has been given the opportunity to handpick the property, management, and gameplan here with Alder.

The fact that he has dropped approximately $30k of his own money into this project speaks volumes. I don't care how rich someone may or may not be....you don't invest $30k into something you will be maligned for if you ever sell out.

And I am solidly 99.9% sure he isn't out to trick us idiots into buying shares in this company so he can blast out his position at 20 cents!

Markets have been pulverized lately. The prognosticators who seem to have been right for the past 3 years are predicting this is 'last call' before the monster bull run in the gold market.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been looking for some 11 cent shares over the past week. Sellers may dry up and buyers may increase substantially if and when Alder starts to promote themselves.

Ok...that's enough positivity for today. Going to take a shot of conservatism and get back to work.
