Agreed. Makes you feel like a "wildcatter" huh?! Taking on a lot of risk (typical to this kind of investment and exploration in general), with potential for huge gains, but with soooo many hurdles to get over. This is not for the faint of heart and definitely not an easy investment to hold for the long haul. Kind of reminds me of stocks in general over the last two years or so.

I think I will invest in some TUMS and buckle in for the ride...
