I didn't know that about placing an order above the present trading level. Do you know if that would be considered a GTC (Good Til Cancelled) order? I also want to be an optimist. It really irks me, though, to think that the only ones making $ on AUMN and many other junior mining stocks, are the officers of the companies, and the bullion banks shorting them into oblivion. I will post, from time to time, if I make any kind of progress in my small efforts. Thanks for all of the insights that this board provides.
