nothing in life is a sure bet :))
and i also think we will be bought up long before that 1 in 2 ...50% chance takes place.
in other words: we are a "better bet" for a take over.
but, thanks for mentioning G., particularly that investing is a world apart from trading.
trading is great for following the s&p or micro-soft and trading on momentum with in the trading day ... never leaving money in overnight ! this i have done proffessionaly and it works well with discipline.
for the junior market, trading is dubious at best: it's better in invest on the fundamentals with companies like GNH over an extended period of time. ....at least four months or so
i beleive most of the money is made when you just remain patient untill "payday" ...sometimes that takes a few years. ...provided that management stays on course and assays remain steady, building out a resource one step at a time.
cheers ...danny
