Here we go again. Manipulation down in to the mid to low 3.00 range. Its great to want to keep buying, but really we're cycling more than moving forward right now. No matter how good the news is the shorters have pushed the price down so that existing shares lose value when held and new share become the new fodder after the price jumps giving the false sense of euphoria (thats when we find out the shorts are covering their ass*s "again".

Its hard to be a faithful investor, holding long and strong and wathcing MM manipulate your investment to a point news is only a factor in where they can get on and off the train. Too many stocks are having this problem now, its like a disease. I think its somewhat confusing to the poor investor who just got into NOT. They see it going up and then for no apparent reason it drops. Its things like this that make stock investments more of a trip to the casino than they have ever been in the past. Once the SEC gets its hands slapped enough, only then will we see how bad it can get.

NOT is a very volatile investment with incredible potential. Based on that alone this stock should be moving up steadily between reports that create speculative antipation of future gain. Some would consider this anticipation should create an attractive buying scenerio for, shall we call them, "cautiously optomistic" investors. Instead, we are not even certain if gains come from shorters or from investors who actually plan to watch a great mining story unfold and hopefully get richer doing it. No wonder the swing traders are grabbing shares and letting them drop. The only way to stop the whole thing is to make it so they don't want to do it, meaning they have to burn from something. Maybe someone can tell me what that might be because all the good news reports are doing little more than putting the "resistance" wall up so these characters can test the "support" wall for a days. I'm holding long and buying more like many others here. But I feel very upset that people put in pension fund money or kids school money and then get scared back out of the stock taking loses along the way...just because the stock is getting played by the big boys..the ones we're supposed to take investment advise from (or at least they seem to think so). When will the market ever give the honest, hard working investor the upper edge again...the investor that makes the company what it is in the end..strong. These other players only serve to erode the strength of the companys financial base making it harder for them to move ahead with their business..whether it be expansion or even the buying back of shares.

Well nuff cannon fodder from me. .... I know... I know... its investment... thats what makes it so unique and exciting... That being said I think I may take the car to the drag strip this pm and see how the numbers fair there.. :) GLTA you NOTaholics!!
