Dontcry, That is exactly why the "Boyz" would want to steal it. My theory is based on the belief that someone on the board ( or influencing the BOD) is trying to torpedo this stock price so a takeover at $5-6 looks good, ie "They" have to mange it (through delays and "mistakes" in the recovery chemistry, equipment breakdown or delayed delivery in the mill equipment) through negative results and news to insure further capitulation selling in order to short it to the $2.5-$3 range, so "They" can steal it at $5 . I am not a short. I still hold the stock for my children and sister, but how much negative news from supposedly "Good Mining Operators" do you have to take before you connect the dots. The key to the truth of my theory will be the issuance of beaucoup options at the $2.5-3 level. Watch who is given those options if it happens. Those that are awarded the most options will be your perpetrators. To repeat I hope I am wrong. This is the Best board on the internet for PM mining knowledge and PM value, bar none. The level of intelligence attracts others. Great minds think alike. I read it always first because the HUB leaders are in general the smartest people I know. I am probably totally wacked on this, but something just doesn't feel right with this company. And, yes they do have the goods, in spades, that's why we are all in it. But, here comes the conspiracy theory; most of us are conservative in nature, believe in the rule of law, and strongly believe in the constitution-word for word. We are their enemy, and systematically exterminating our capital kills three birds for them. It takes away some of our finacial freedom and influence and power(capital-freedom), lets them get a very big chunk of silver in "all those unexplored properties in Mexico, Argetina, and Peru" to supply their COMEX shorting (and in turn possess a very valuable asset to go long with when "they" as Sinclair states, finally decide it is the time to go long Silver and Gold-2-3 years from now?) , and it gets rid of, and or demoralizes, one of the most influencial and powerful Gold & Silver Private Investors Boards in existence. Many many many more people than we know read THIS BOARD! We need to investigate the background of each and every one of the BOD Members! Reagen said-"Trust but Verify". No-one that I know of has really verified the character and agenda of each of the members of the board. Something is just not right. If the stock breaks $3 that will be the final "Dot" for me.
