Thought I would log in to make a quick comment before heading out again. Every one needs to learn their best methods of investing. More than 90% of everyone does not do their own Stock picking and investing in Stock Markets. Thoes that do usually require many years to learn how they best do the Stock Market thing. Of the less than 10% who do do their own investing only a fraction ever venture into the venture exchange. Of this fraction of less than 10% if all investors only a small fraction invest in Junior Mineral Explorers. For this very small group it takes a good long while to learn how it usually works. Even then there are many exceptions that always confirm to a Text Book Case Study only in retrospect. Only hot shots brag about their alleged perpetual or near perpetual successes, big or small. As it turns out (note: After the fact), I could have predicted the trading pattern we are witnessing with maybe better than 50% success. What I find most amusing is seeing the extreme caution the Manipulator bunch, paranoia even, display when doing their work. And I do believe it is their work, as they are paid to do as they do. Most of them would not risk their own personal savings doing as they are paid to do. I can now almost tell the difference between Computer driven trading and Computer assisted trading for Noront Resources. I hope it is transferable in the future but will not count on it. Thus, I do believe most on here are giving and receiving some very good suggestions, if you prefer to not call it advice, on learning what works for themselves as individuals. Then have the strength of self knowledge to not allow oneself to be 'Coned' be the smug, slick, cleaver, and outright dishonest etc.. To conclude, I really do find the skidishness for the manipulators amusing and love to see how cautious they tend to be most of the time. They know well enough to know they can get run over and run over in the blink of an eye. For knowing this you may call me smug or what ever you like, but do not be shy. Post your insights more often. Old Joe PS: Cautious as usual, but Bright, Strong, and Long on this one called Noront! Enjoy your Season of Joy!
