tgarfield, why do you ask questions that you already know the answer to? For example in the junior exploration market a long holds until the resource being discovered is sold or the company is sold. In blue-chip stocks it is the reward of the dividend that is important and that causes the long to hold. These are examples and you and I know many other examples of what long means. Why do you cast negative clouds? You know very well that NOT’s present share price is not caused by this company or the resource they are defining.
