Hi Kent

I have not posted for awhile, but like many invested here I am sitting on needles.

Kry is the largest holding in my portfolios (mostly because of averaging down) and IMO the one holding with the most potential to return profits in the short term but I agree with your longer view on KRY also.

I assessed the CRRC deal and the story is unfolding as I expected it would (with the .4 PPS and usual silence). IMO- This will be unnerving for many considering the pessimism in the rest of the markets and murky global issues. IMO- The Chinese are going to be the big winners in the global economy game and being aligned with them cannot be a bad development.

I notice that there are new and some old participants who post questions that seem aggravating but this does not phase me. I hope we can find ways to be tolerant.

A gold sales price resolution is one of many issues that needs to be addressed in this deal and I am looking forward to seeing the many positive aspects of this deal when they can be officialy announced.

Like I usually say, good luck to everyone.............

Hondo.
