Thanks, Prospekt (and others), for contributing your informed good sense to the forum. Following up on your thoughts for what Elmer Stewart could have done differently, I’ll just say that if he had acted in the ways you suggest, what *might* have changed to everyone’s advantage (and expectation) is the timing of the story, notwithstanding macro events beyond anyone’s control. The intrinsic value of the project stays the same, changing only, perhaps, with what additional drilling might have revealed. We’re all frustrated, some more than others, with having to wait much longer than we thought, and I’d hazard a guess that that’s how Stewart feels too. I remain confident that I’ll realize the expected gain one day, and I’m fortunate in being able to wait.

edit: ditto for golfyeti's post immediately following Prospekt's.
