Wrote this yesterday, doesn't seem to be as necessary today, time will tell.

If you want to give yourself a boost right now, find a Johnny Cash CD and play Ring of Fire - it will take you right back to the AGM and you will relive that feeling of anticipation. It will help you hold your focus (for those who need it).

We have a winner! The management team know what they are doing, the upside is stellar and the chances of it going off the books is - - - Oh well. Volatile yes, but there is no gain without pain, hang in there! More drill results please.

I don't know about the technical stock guys in the junior mining sector, seems like if you keep guessing you have to hit the odd one. I gave up guessing about a month ago, I wasn't very good at my entry points either, however I entered early enough to be in a very good position (3.50 - 4.00) and I did dollar average in trying to buy in the valleys and with this kind of volatility I had no trouble finding valleys. Save some cash for daily trading (play money), make sure you make enough to pay for your trades.

In response to the idea that govts. won't let economies fail, I know that they may be able to cushion the blow a little but govts and bureaurcrats have never done anything except feed off of someone else's labour and entreprenerial spirit (we do need some regulations in some areas).

I take my hat off to every risk taker and investor on this forum. There seems to be a lot of people who are still willing to put their money on the line, they are the true makers of economies, not govts! They are the gladiators of the still relatively Free enterprise system and from their risk taking there will be true economic growth generated. Yes, jobs that pay good wages, miners, trades people, huge trucks, conveyor belts, diamond drills, crushers, ball mills, the real deal. Wow - go and invest in atomic energy of Canada, they have been 10 years (Globe and Mail today) trying to get the bugs out of maple leaf one and two (reactors). Give it to the private sector for God's sake, govts and politicians bleed the rest of us (strong reaction).

Wow, what a rant - hope someone reads it!

Global warming - Environment Canada tells us we are actually cooling off over the past few years (check it out). You see what's happening now, in global terms, we are being demonized for being progressive by those countries that haven't had a good scientific work ethic or haven't been very inventive. Because we live in a northern climate and love motor cars to move around in we now cause very storm, flood or dry season globally, we are being fingered as the cause of climate change - WE ARE NOT! - climates do change even without motor cars, historical fact. One volcanic eruption injects more carbon, poison gas and dust into the atmosphere than all the motor cars ever produced in Detroit (nothing wrong with trying to keep clean air and water - common sense), but we don't need some left wing politician or beauracrat, propped up by false science telling us how to live (Al Gore).

Should we hit on political correctness, merely the supression of free speech.

Input from everyone should be appreciated and for the most part, is.

Longer than ever on NOT and area plays.
