It has been a tough market for everyone., and thanks for the recognition Marcos., I dont sell newsletters or take hush money or any other monetary incentive to post my thoughts., I try to consider myself as an unbiased speculator., who follows the fundamental aspects of a company. Rumors will abound pro and con., some with merit some without. I dont buy stocks on rumors., nor do I sell on rumors. I first try to determine the integrity of the company., in the end., most of the time., you will be successful. I posted what I consider one very important rumor which I was reluctant posting at the time., in fact it was several days after receiving the information from a valued source. In it I stated that Winspear had found visible diamonds in the bulk. Probably a safe assumption seeing the early diamond counts., I took a lot of heat from individuals all over these threads on Winspear., all the way from the option repricing to estimating grade from a mere 137kg sample of dyke intersections. The speculation would not have been made without knowing the consistancy of grade and geochemistry to date with Winspear in their 11 hole intersections. Chuck and I had a nice breakfast the other morning., and he is a dedicated diamond searcher very much similiar to me as well. He came equiped with maps a nice blown up version., I might add., and we had a very pleasant meeting. Take care Marcos., and thanks for the support thru all these months. Sincerely George J. Tromp |
