What exactly is a Ripple? Is that the butterscotch stuff? Make mine a Seagrams and 7up, tho I'll try a snort of your drink first.

I agree with you Portee, mngmnt is doing fine, and in a way I would just as soon they ignore the majority of the market and SP rollercoaster and do what they do best, and what we "hire" them for: look for gold. And Urainium. Hey, maybe nickle too. I am curious to see if KXL and others rocket back up as you predict. I predict they may make a final, capitualting nosedive, and then recover some, withthose who bought in the trough making a great return right away. I am guessing the speculative stocks may take some time to revisit their 52 week highs. Just a hunch.
