I heard it today and though it was very, very good. He sounds like a leader, and like a guy who can think on his feet and more than hold his own in negotiations.

While he was trying to be realistic, and dispell delusions of grandeur which we all hope will become fact, it was also apparent that he is genuinely impressed by what he's seen so far, and it seems as though he has had enough experience to have a solid basis for comparison.

Some of the questions sounded like a cross-examination. Guess that's okay - he knows he's got to be on his toes. Thought his response to the Northern Miner question was appropriate - although he clearly did not care for the reporter asking the question, what he indicated did not deserve a response was the quoted comment about the "stink" as opposed to the reporter himself.

I think the stock price and volume is a very important indicator of what we might have at any given time. There's lots and lots of analysis here, and I will admit that I cannot understand nearly enough of it to determine what is reasonable and what is not, so I need to go by other means. Hansen gave me every indication he's a guy who can run the show.
