Hello all. I am newbie here and have been following the board for about 4 or 5 months. I do not have many shares because I bought in at an average of $2.15 therefore loosing 75% of my investment.

I have to say that Hog, Bow and Sculpin, Mr. Hobbs and numerous others have given me a lot of information and knowledge on Tesoro. Thanks to all.

I have also seen the negative that is spreading all the time and IMO it is not helping our stock price at all. If you are long on this stock, great and so am I.

In regards to Lori and yesterday's meeting, it was only what it was advertised in the PR. Frustration breeds anger and anger breeds bad judgement. Lets look at this positive and spread positivity to people who read these posts.

What if lori has a plan to find out just what this property holds before going public with the news. It may be her plan to buy time in order to make sure that we all get what we paid for and not get shorted because of veins and anomalies she did not find. It would be horrible to sell to a buyer for $10 only to find out a year or two later that company struck a find worth millions more than we sold it for.

According to the meeting, no holes have been drilled into the ovoid or anomaly, that does not mean that they were drilling to the ovoid but maybe just above it. Maybe these smaller rigs do not have the capability of drilling that deep. Not sure.

What if the anomaly is another rich meneral that is in high demand. We know gold is there but maybe there is something else there to. What ever the plan is, there are very many positives I have read here and found in other sources. Hang in there because this thing could last for a few years in order to complete the drill program including the deep drilling. Lets keep our cool, and if you are overly upset at yesterdays meeting, it was what it was supposed to be (from what I have read in the NR and here). We are all looking for that payday. Obviously all here have decided to stay long so relax, wait and hopefully they find what they are looking for in order to give proper data and proof to a potential buyer who will pay us for Everything There. JMO and hoping not to upset anyone.
