On June 30/10, Jesse in his Cafe Americain said: "The junior miners in particular are a real hoot to watch with their wide spreads, large short interests, openly aggressive naked short selling, and thin volumes. It takes a special kind of masochism to trade anything on the pink sheets, much less Canadian listed stocks".

This sounds to me like sophisticated U.S. investors tend to think of investing in our junior resource companies as a mug's game. Maybe some of us have been focussing so long and so intensely on these companies that we have unconciously accepted this situation as normal and just don't realize how badly the cards are stacked against us not only in NOT and the rest of the ROF, but across the board in the Canadian resource sector?

Even so, I guess I'm hooked for now. To me, beats lottery tickets.

O.F.
