Lets not forget that we are not the exception when it comes to SP. I was going through my list of potential future purchases and so many jrs are beaten down, but man oh man so many opportunities it offers the patient investor. Just a few examples out of MY favorite plays :

AAA - Alana Potash is 60 some cents, down from over 2 bucks;

Evolving gold is 27 cents, down from over 1$ a year ago;

Orezone gold is a tad over 2$, down from over 5$;

candente copper is 1 buck, down from 2.50 or so;

avion gold is 1.13, from 2.57;

gran columbia is 42 cents,

bnk petro is 1.61, down from over 6$ and with a sh\t load of insider buying happening;

atac res is 2.65 from what, 8-9$

I could keep on going all night. There is alot of insider buying going on; they know that this is just a short term issue. Once the price of gold, silver and copper actually take off - when manipulators are no longer able to bring down the prices due to the actual physical shortage of these metals, we will be ready with our cash from a cuu buyout to reap the benefits.
