This is totally my opinion, though I am a solid shareholder and have been since before the big takeoff on Aug. 29, 2007—the day NOT opened after the previous day's halt, closing up 0.275 at 67¢! What a thrill!!
I am not smart. I did NO due diligence. I bought on Jason Hommel's recommendation—you've heard, haven't you, that "Luck trumps Smart"?
Since then, thru ups and downs, I have often found reassurance in D12's postings, and always when the price is inexplicably down. (Any down is always "inexplicable" to me.)
I assume D12 is a high-paid mining executive (just a guess), but I bet he could handle our PR on the side and be compensated with a few shares per PR. Heck, he's the kind of guy who'd probably do it just "for the love of the cause".
