Yes, we've had some negative events and we have the Tradewinds possible pressure to deal with. On the other hand, the 2007 LC Technical update highlights one of the major distinctions since this stock was at $6.00 (on much lower POG). "Drilling by Crystallex in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 was designed to increase the resources and reserves at Las Cristinas and was successful in meeting that objective. Drilling extended the resource down dip at Conductora-Cuatro Muertos and also along strike into the Morrocoy area, allowing
estimation of a defined resource for the mineralization at Morrocoy. The Inferred resource estimated for the Cordova deposit was included in the global Las Cristinas resource for the first time. The total
estimated resource for Las Cristinas, since Crystallex obtained the mining rights from CVG, was increased from about 21 million ounces of gold in 2003 to about 27 million ounces in this report.
Proven and Probable reserves increased from about 9.5 million ounces of gold in 2003 to about 17 million ounces in this report."

Keep in mind, also, that there is a probable 5% "secret investor" out there who will, hopefully, counterbalance any Tradewinds action.

I see 25-30 million shares traded. I will not sell any shares under $7.00. (although I may have to ditch some 2009 options...)

As I posted before - the secret investor becomes vested 45 days after permit. I believe that once they exercise their warrants (Even though they have 18 months, I think it will be a sooner rather than later exercise) that their position becomes reportable. I would expect that announcement to provide an intermediary pop prior to bidding war.
