HOWEVER, you don't put $20k into a junior exploration stock when you don't have the slightest idea how to interpret drill results,

B.A. Why not? Your odviously assuming that all of our investors are in the same financial position as yourself. If someone can afford it and lose it,,,why not. Is the stock market set aside for only those that have their masters in Trading. When you press the buy key, you have no one to blame but yourself. I don't understand people trying to blame someone else for the reason they bought in. Everyone needs to take a look at themselves and start taking responsibility for their own actions. Blame someone else and the problem will exist forever. Blame yourself and it will go away.
