Thanks Pic - you are among the group of posters I look forward to reading. Lots of interesting perspectives here. This is a difficult arena to exsist in, especially when prices get hammered with impunity. I believe that in the end we will be rewarded for our patience and perserverence, and that's why I'm here. I can't do anything about the price being hammered except buy shares and wait it out. If the market wants to offer me (and everybody else) shares at ridiculous prices, I feel fortunate to be able to buy. This is the only way we can ever hope to beat them at their own game. Nothing is guaranteed, and anything can happen, but I've been watching this little company do what it says it's gonna do and I like what I see. I like the fact that if the stock moves a penny, a significant amount of cash appears (or disappears) in my accounts. I can buy shares of a gold and silver miner, in a jusisdiction friendly to miners that promises to be a producer in the relatively near term for 8 cents. If I let my mind wander a bit, I could envision a hundred bagger with ease. I am watching with keen interest what's going on in Idaho. Just for kicks, go to the Scorpio Mining website and look at the library of photos they offer. It looks like a large scale version of what I hope to see in September at the SHM. It looks to me like what I'd envision Bobby Joe's photos will look like if I were able to peer into the future. I'm quite certain that RS is intimately familiar with all the photos on their site. He probably snapped many of them himself. I hope he brings that vision to SFMI. I can't imagine he won't.

To my way of thinking, we are an early stage superstar. All the ingredients are in place. I am told that the time to get in is before the crowd arrives. I've been building a big comfy seat right up front to watch the show unfold. I've got a large drink and popcorn that I bought for cheap. If this thing does what I think its gonna do, people will think I'm much smarter than I really am. Thats perfectly fine with me. It's virtually impossible for me to believe that this thing is fairly valued. I hope we won't be down here for much longer, but stranger things have happened. I look forward to the journey, and to meeting many of you face to face in Sept.

Thanks again Pic - Keep up the energy and the good posts.
