I took the afternoon off too and got the surprise and took it with unbelief. We all knew it was coming sometime. It's just and idea coswill, but you and I should take tomorrow afternoon off too. I'm a bit surprised at you John blaming short selling for NOT going down to the 60 cents range. The short numbers are almost non existant. Haven't you noticed what the news about the economy, subpar loan mess, and panic selling along with tax loss selling was much, much bigger. The board change didn't help either. In any court of law you would have to present proof. Where's the numbers??? This isn't short covering either. Watch the news closely and you will see all the politicians talking about spending money to keep the economy in recovery. That is going to include projects that consume commodities. I think we are just seeing the beginnings of a buying spree. If we ever get some good news from the long over-due assay results, it will be like throwing gasoline on a fire. I enjoy reading your opinions and hold you in high regard. I differ with you, and some others, about short selling. Let's all enjoy the party that is just beginning. It's the happy hour phase.
