T&J, thanks for the post. You are not alone. I am in the exact same boat with you. If this does not work out it will be for me a disaster. I first bought in late last June and added stock all summer and fall taking money out of other stocks at a loss so I would get in in time. I have, if I had to sell today, lost well over half my investment Last June the expectation was that by fall 2011 we would know and you better get in while you could and delay could leave you out in the cold. You could hardly find a post anywhere that was not 100% positive, almost certain, that this was the mother lode and that included Primed's posts. In fact, he had a post on his blog from last Feb. that was exceedingly positive and one of my main influences in getting in. (This is not to put blame on him, I am responsible for my own decisions.)
I am in until the end for there is no other alternative but to see it through to the end and there is still hope and if worse comes to worse there is the other 2 properties in Peru but time does matter. This cannot drag on for years yet as I have age and health issues. Last summer it was said that by October we would be getting one news release after another. On the positive side recent events seem to show the company is getting serious about being much more aggressive in moving things forward more rapidly.
None of this is meant to be complaining for I can easily wait through until the fall of this year if the Lord grants me life and health and it was written with the only purpose in mind of being to let you know you are not alone and have company. In fact, I suspect except for those who have been in this for literally years the boat you and I are presently in is pretty crowded if the truth be known. I bought in at over $2 and I bet I have a lot of company.
