Chapter twelve.

The Big Score.

"It's not investing, it's gambling pure and simple. You might as well roll the dice." written by Research Capital Corp. analyst Manford Mallory on buying Diamond Fields stock Globe and Mail , April 19, 1995

"I can't see an awful lot of upside...I'd say take your profits, may may have the opportunity to get back in at a lower price." Sanwa McCarthy analyyst John Hainey on Diamond Fields' $34 stock price Globe and Mail April 19, 1995

By early April, 1995 Robert Friedland was almost ready to stage his auction for the first piece of Voisey's Bay. The Innu protest had fizzled; a management contract with the prospectors was within reach; Diamond Fields head office was moving to Vancouver;the nickel deposit was getting bigger with each new drill test.....

I read chapter 12 and I am thinking..

Our deposit has tripled.

We are going to drill 2km down

Blockade is over.

And coincidentally the media bashing starts. Everything , right on schedule.
