Remember, Novak is much more in direct management of several other area players as well as several other well managed exploration companies. With the trading and such in there other companies in recent weeks, may some of the proceeds of disposition be for the purpose of maintaining a relatively healthy or strong hand in these other exploration companies. After all, there is a big game underway with respect to control/influence in these other companies as well. Who gets to be the strong/dominant hand in any other area company will have more influence on any possible eventual outcome(s), (JV's/Mergers/Buy Outs/shareholded sensitive new share issues in six months time, etc.. Negotiation power, decision power...as well as profit realization. Old Joe
