Here's a stat for any of you baseball fans.

So far GNH is batting 1.000 for hitting quartz on their drill program.

So far GNH is batting 1.000 for creating 'believers' of guests who have visitied the property.

Their batting average is much, much lower with finding larger brokered deals, flying promoters in from South America, and getting serious face time with interested parties....although probably equal to or better than equivalent juniors might I say.

I just find it so fascinating that James West has signed on as a representative of the company after the site visit. Keep an eye out to see if the site visit/ new investor ratio continues to bat at a 1.000 in the coming months.

I'll admit I have little or no experience in valuing a gold property. I'll also admit that Golden Hope Mines sounds like just about the sketchiest investment of all time on the surface. I will even furhter admit that I still peeved by RWinger calling out all the 'pumping' that is done on this forum.

The irony is that I get so angry because I feel I need a baseball bat for myself to bat 1.000 in drilling into people's cynical minds that Golden Hope is an extraordinary investment opportunity. Most everyone who has followed this forum appreciates that fact as they could walk away with some substantial gains and they appreciate the quality information that is shared.

I find that as the share price rises, so does my blood pressure due to all the people that I have attempted to 'enlighten' yet they choose to be skeptical and cynical. If this thing hits a buck I may have a coronary.

I'm sorry but I'll keep sticking my neck out here in cyberspace (for whatever that's worth, which isn't much) and say that I think that telling somebody about what is happening in the Beauce - you would be doing them a big favour at these levels....in the mid to long term. (short term, fahgetaboutit...don't even go there)

I make a great living by breaking the 'rules' in my business every day and have had executives from some of our country largest companies coming into my outfit and commenting that we are so progressive and visionary. It's a bloody joke really how short sighted I think they are. Take the blinders off for ___ sake and don't worry about what others will think...take a chance! (again, I get so angry)

VG in 2 locations 6km apart from a popping a few holes in the ground. Start from there and work your way back. Read a few posts from Hoov - he makes it pure and easier to understand, yet removes all of my spew and Glorieux's $ analysis.

If this thing were to drop back to 18 cents on no news I wouldn't feel anywhere close to the amount of frustration I have when trying to peel the cynical blinders off some faces in order to take an honest look at what is happening here, with an open mind. In fact, if it went to 18 cents again on no news I might be happier. (Although I bet Candido wouldn't be :))

Okay, I feel better after writing that. Off to the cottage for a few days...no GNH or Agoracom for me.
