I'd just like to say thanks to all who continue to share articles, well reasoned opinions in the midst of all this. I invested a lot in this company based on their over the top world class resource the fact that Aurelian appeared to be doing all the right things (and then some) in a difficult jurisdiction. I like most others thought Correa would act like a rational human being which would have sent an extremely positive message to the Global Investing community. I guess I just received a very expensive lesson in Socialism.

I have not sold a share (for better or worse) because frankly it is too late for that. We need to go forward and I encourage all on this very educated board to keep your foot on the gas here. The gold is still there and think next week will bring about some very positive developments. Once the government has realized what they have done I think you will see some serious backtracking. After all have you ever seen a governemnt change the rules on the fly as much as this one.

I think it was Ahead2 who posted an excellent go forward plan that we need to push from our management.

Have a good all...there are better days ahead.
