you're right portapottie, you could do the tax loss thing but I wouldn't dare right now.... who knows when some good news comes out and as we know from past experience , Kodiak can make spectacular runs.... if a person was out at that time because of a tax loss sale then there would be loud screaming and gnashing of teeth..... I will hang in..... on another subject ; I don't think anyone has commented on the fact that managment has decided to drill a target that has to be serviced by helipcopter... this is a very expensive deal... so WHY are they doing that when they have plenty of others that are more easily accesible.... ????? it has to be a target that looks so good that it justifies the whopping extra expense...... a target that could make the stock ito a real screamer.... that is my take anyway.... if someone has another theory thats OK with me..... but I will NOT be out of this stock for any reason .... yes, we have been fooled before when we were expecting spectacular news , but that is the nature of exploration..... I wouldn't want to BE a FOOL and miss the big run again which could happen at any time......
