Hi Coach,

Good point, but they could be the same person, could be related... could both be Rats or ClubHouse or a dozen other fools out there doing the dirty work on shares by trashing them in forums and/or in 'reports'.

While I agree with your sentiment (not much of a lynch mob guy myself) I think showing results and pushing the price upwards with successful drilling etc. will have little or no effect on some of these guys as they aren't shorting the stock. They are paid by those who do.

Besides I doubt they really care, they short and cover and buy and sell... winning consistently on the volatility that scares off legitimate investors who can see the manipulation and don't want the risk. If they lose big time, they can fold their subsiderary and open another.

Then there are guys (like some on this board) who can't wait forever... who should currently be reaping the regards of excellent DD and a solid investment decision, but instead see .63 and a 6 figure loss due to shorters and their 'klowns'. Personally, it may seem futile, but through a bit of selected targeting of known aggressors and some legal action on manipulators, the message can be sent that we will not sit by idol as the regulators do. Someone needs to send a message. When thinking of these guys stealing money out of my children's inheritance I tend to see that while the action of chasing these guys may indeed be futile at least it makes me feel better. I'm sure if you add all the board members up together, we may indeed be 'the largest investor' and thus should take an active interest in protecting 'our' investment.

Here's hoping that drill hits pay dirt and we can blow these fools back into poverty, but failing that I'm tired of siting back and seeing an excellent company constantly under siege by propaganda, manipulation and slander. Take a look at Chithouse... they run the place now. We may all know that it isn't the place to go for investment information, but casual investors may not... those are investors who could help to raise our volumes and fill our pockets.

Just my personal thoughts on the matter...
