Hey, Don,
As an example, most of us have a decent idea of grades (although after the super grades at E1, lesser grades may seem disappointing, but in point of fact they're NOT), but there may be a way to tell from the NR and the angles of the holes, etc., something more about tonnage.
I'm certainly not one to be able to read an NR and have confidence in my analysis of same, but my point is there are other ways to skin a cat, and allowing oneself to become confused by the rapid fire posts sure to ensue an NR, is not the way to come to any conclusions.
My strong sense is that many rely on the few in these types of stories. Nothing unusual in that respect with NOT, just the way I've observed it over the years.
I'm just looking forward to the day, and hopefully to a lot of positive pandemonium!
And let's not all forgot (especially those whose stock holdings are heavily weighted in NOT), we have been treated to a heck of a lot of excitement (and for many, a good deal of appreciation), over a period of time when our subsector has absolutely sucked!
