"sum4all-----yes this makes more sense because in this world it's not what you know but who you know. and if it is the case something is good is coming as the volume & the big crosses are trying to tell us something. any thoughts."

The volumes certainly indicate that people are moving shares though the sp remains static. We live in hope that it is for positive financial reasons. I trust what is in the ground as it looks more promising with every N.R. but I'll always be vigilant about who is controlling the human part of the equation. I am still open to the possibility that the board will try to make money fast regardless of what they say about exploration programs. The reason?..... the economy is going to get worse, shares will likely take a big dumping again and that will truly be the time to make money if you've got cash on the side. You can pretty much bet that the guarded rally that appears to be happening now is girded with a pile of investors who are all thinking the same thing..... "make some money fast as I can, repair the damage to my portfolio, and get out before I get caught like the last time...... so this time I really can make a killing". The above is all my opinion and nothing more.
