With all respect to posters, I have much respect for Brian and

what he has done for the the company. I see this person

as a good leader and his appointment to the board is

actually a "voice of the man in the street" .I am positive

from what I know of the man. I know the market isn't

reflecting what we think the current valuation should be

but looking at the world around us, I cannot see anyone

much better or forthrite than Brian Maher.

We are living in a terrible economic tunnel with the only light

at the end of it is this "precious metal option" so grab hold

and hope for the best. I think we'll win in the end.
