A big welcome to nylusiak and fasp. You will NOT regret being here and I guarantee that in one month, you will be amazed at how much good information you've digested.

Franz, I also bought more (5.16, 5.45, 5.80), but to help cut some of the losses I had from my Monday & Tuesday attempts at day trading. Yesterday, I learned something and it from this board. Not sure who posted it, but they said that some of the bigger houses can see your bids and asks, if you place them at a point outside of the current SP and then wait for it to hit it. Personally, I think that's disgusting and I wonder why the securities commission allows this foul play.

So on Wednesday, I got smart, finally. I started picking my spots and then jumping in. If it didn't get it, I took it off and tried again until it worked. I let them come to me. Emotions were controlling my market play before......well, except for my now infamous sleep trading buy & sell a couple of weeks back.......But not any more. On Halloween 2007, I turned a page and I will never look back.

I wanted to ask you, Franz, as your keen perception is well noted on this board. In the After The Press Release interview with Richard and his geologist, it was evident that Richard was anxious or nervous, but towards the end of the interview, did you notice his manner ? He was rustling those papers, had a smile and I saw that twinkle in his eyes when he said that we should read the NR very slowly and watch or wait for the next news releases. I think that's what he siad anyways. But that sparkle in his eyes seemed almost identical to the one he had, when he was announcing the drill results from hole # 5. What's your perceptive take on that, Franz ?

Concerning tomorrow's news, D.C. says it's WF. Others say DE or an offer from a major. Heck, maybe someone's tendered an offer for WF, although that's way out there. But just from seeing Rchard's eyes and his manner, you could almost tell that there was much more to tell. We'll find out soon enough.

Franz, your comments are most welcome and everyone else as well. And yes, I do believe that this is my longest post on record. I promise this will not happen again.........
