post once before but thought I would do so once again as to this day this post still strikes a cord with me. As you will see, this post was originally posted on SH (before NOT/AGO had their now defunct relationship) and was posted after the great hole 5 drill results.

May things have changed since then but many things have remained the same.

(Again, keep in mind that this was originally posted during one of the lengthy halts back in mid-Sept/07)

The repost:

The rumours and anxiousness here are palpable..

For those that were around back when hole 5 was released, you will recollect it was a barn-burner. I have every reason to beleive that we are on the cusp of something bigger than hole 5 (from the Sept 27/07 N/R - Hole NOT-07-05 final assay results include; 68.3 meters averaging 5.9% nickel, 3.1% copper, 2.87 g/t platinum, 9.78 g/t palladium, 0.61 g/t gold and 8.5 g/t silver)

Unfortunately, (from my perspective as I really enjoyed the speculative rush) Wes and the current BOD are not likely to Halt trading but are more apt to release news during pre or post market timeframes. Back in the heady days of hole 5 and beyond, Noront had a relatively high number of shorts outstanding which were predominantly institutional (as compared to retail).

How many shorts are there at this time. Pretty much NOTTA. (should tell you something)You would have to be an absolute baffoon to short NOT at this time.

I have stated before that I wear rose coloured NOT glasses but this is beyond that. I have a good feeling that those said glasses will verry soon be Elton Johnish that I previously could not justify purchasing.

Oh this is gonna be good!

Enjoy the fact that your company which you own shares in scored a very big drill core... (hole 5)

Enjoy the trading halt which actually facilitates and helps your position being long by eliminating the short sellers and program trading for you. They will open this and price it according to market values soon enough.

Short sellers will feel the anxiety... that is guaranteed.. Nothing is more terrifying to a short seller then having a stock halted and not knowing wher eit will open up.. becasue when it isnt trading.. they cannot cover.. They no longer control their short exit point..

some probably shorted at 1 dollar, 2 dollars, 3 dollars, and 4 dollars too... Those who shorted this stock or many other mining stocks on the Venture exchange will soon learn an important lesson... That buying pwer and manipulation works both ways.... not just to bash mining stocks down to cover with private placements and warrant kickers...

So take a deep breath and enjoy surrounding yourself with other investors who had the patience, the dedication to hold this stock, and believe that it is still possible to find economic deposits... and rip a new shirt for the short sellers, black box trading spread programs, and other invesment banks who practise predatory financings who got caught on the wrong side here as well.

Interesting chart I have to say...

Do NOT short NOT....... Ill say it again... DO NOT RISK SHORTING NOT... with commodities and inflation, you have no idea what can happen to the upside.... even if there is a quick correction down to give some the opportunity to pick up some shares to others who missed out.. this is now a buy on the dips story....

I was a Trader in New York for the 1998- 200 nasdaq bull market.. I remember how Qualcomm traded at 400 dollars..

There is the potential in this commodities bull market to see the same action.. only MORE crazy. Im not saying this week, even this year, but the potential is there for a shift in market perception that brings BILLIONS of dollars to the exploration sector. Greed is powerful.. so is fear.....

The table has turned now though.. rather than longs taking a beating from shorts and short spread programs.. and predatory financings...covering with private placement shares and warrant kickers...

shorts now are taking a beating... sweating at the brow... head in their hands.. .and they dont even know when it s over.. Their greed has now turned to fear.. and every moment this stays halted gives them a new perspective on life....... a much needed one...

I don't own any NOT.. just came here to check out what i have heard from other bullboards on other stocks with some promising developments..

YOUR COMPANY DRILLED SOMETHING>. HAVE SOME FAITH..... GIVE THEM SOME TIME.... AND LET THEM DO THEIR JOBS>.. THERE IS NO NEED TO FLOOD THE COMPANY WITH CALLS AND EMAILS>> they know what is happening...

good luck ! your company may recieve a bidding war take over from other majors who need to prove up reserves.. congrats!!! this is the one in 1000 stock you look for... and you were lucky enough to have found it!
