Maybe it is the site of those platinum. paladium, and nickel numbers, maybe it is the amazing lengths of mineralization is Hole 1,2 and 5, but I am starting to get a little, ummm, how do I say this without sounding metro, ... emo.

I am proud of the brotherhood (and sisters) who stuck it out, not onlu during the down times in the summer (we were all averaged in between the .50s and .90s) but during the share price games of the past few days.

We have lived through the exctasy of seeing the share price hit 4.99.

The low of seeing it open at $2.50 after a halt.

And of course all of the selling into the bid by those who have the money and power to influence the share price, short, and cover.

The thought that came to me yesterday when I saw 10M shares trade and only an increase of 5 cents was "hard to believe millionaires are fighting over a nickel".

My hope is that these same millionaires will be fighting over a $1 or $2 in the next couple of weeks.

Anyway, I am proud of all the longs that first of all held, contributed to this board (it takes time and effort and sometimes frustrated spouses (BK)) and supported each other while the games are played between the brokerage houses.

Take a longer term perspective with NOT and you will not lose.
