1. Who even cares about shorts. IF there are shorts, some day they have to cover. Meanwhile if they are out there, they are not hurting the stock.

2. I wish everyone would stop talking about a takeover. This is not the best thing for CSG. The best thing is to grow the Company into what it is capable of being. This would include ending the spending toward merger, etc.

3. The second quarter will prove nothing. Mainly because the $100,000 per month of needless (merger) spending continues. We need to get through the entire year for real proof. Proof that we are PRODUCING at the rate of 50,000 oz + per year. Then the stock will perform up to expectations.

Personally, I dont want to see a buyout offer come in at $1 per share. I am looking at a potental of $3 + by the end of 2010, and much more thereafter. Speculators are hoping for a buyout but not us investors.
