I didn't think much about how little I was posting of late, because I was here scanning the posts about 3 or 4 days per week. As I don't like to post anything that is overly redundant in nature (well maybe a hit and a jump of 5.00 per share will) as I feel I'm plugging up the board.

What I will say is that I am very happy to see some of the posters coming back to post on a more regular basis. Notie Girl, Herb and Quackaphobe are a few of my favorite posters (cus they speak from their gut feelings). When they were'nt here posting is was like a piece of the wheel went missing...not enough to make it fall apart of course (because of the solid base of great posters already on this forum), but just enough to throw it out of alignment perhaps at times.

My thoughts on NOT have not changed in the least. We all know what is there, and we all know it is growing. The only thing holding us back is the markets in general. I think the Obama stimulous plan is going to help with some sectors, but truly at this point I'm not sure if the right sectors will be affected yet enough to stimulate the forward moving drive for commodities. That said, I think its more accurate or realistic to say we should likely be expecting a slight move up pre summer...and depending on news, and market conditions in general another solid move up later in the year. The thing that will start to push the market back up is simple...how many more quarters are we going to have reports as bad as what we've seen the last 2 to 3 quarters reported. Its likely going to take another 2 quarters to get the losses all reported.....then...and likely only then... will we see the red ink dissappear, in part. Once some of the red ink dissappears, and once the market senses a turn around...then...well....if your not in....Shame!!!!!!

What we need to do now is stay focussed (know what we have and keep on buying....NOT selling). This is everyones chance to make a killing on this stock over the next 12 to 18 months. Patience is the other factor that we must build a large reserve of...enough patience to wait again for the stock to bottom out (probably around .80 and not .45 like before due to the new finds) and then buy in big again (this buy in period will last for a few months yet so just get as many .80 to 1.00 shares that you can). Remember that weakness in a stocks price, especially NOT's is largely created by those who want cheap shares so they can sell on the rebound at a much higher price. Don't let those cheap shares be yours....they sure as *el* won't be mine.

Thanks again for your concern...I've been so busy I haven't been as focussed for writing as normal. I will say that I am here and I am watching the board regularly. All the best and hope everyone had a nice Valentine's Day.

Holding long...accumulating more...patiently patient...cus I'm long on NOT and the ROF, the future mining giant of Canada and North America.

All the best to everyone and God Bless you all :)
