If the news from CUU was so positive, one would think there would be more buying today than there has been so far. I realize the Venture has stunk up the joint for well over a year, but the odd stock has still moved on news or speculation.

I guess we'll just have to be resigned to the share price likely never again reflecting the value of this company and its Schaft Creek property -- at least due to market pressures. Hopefully the deal gets done soon and the final number reached leaves us all relieved, if not ecstatic.

By the way, remember that new "darling" of the neighbourhood, Colorado Resources (CXO)? It has plunged to nearly half of its value this morning. So things could always be worse for us!
