Your cautionary statements are appreciated, although I have to say, it is almost like you are trying to talk the stock down. Trying to pick up some more shares but annoyed that it keeps jumping up 10% every couple days? ;-)
I think it is prudent to view any penny gold stock with a healthy dose of scepticism, but we know that there is some value in GE's claims and contracts, so even if the new samples are disappointing the downside risk is not huge, maybe we go back and test the lows, but this wont go to zero. Clearly there has been quite a bit of groundwork laid--it would not surprise me to see one of the big gold mining companies sweep in and buy everything out, making any concerns about GE's itself moot, I mean if Newmont dangled 100M in front of GE, don't you think they would take it? I could live with a buck a share (although the aquirer would be getting awfully cheap gold if reserves are proved...)
Now, will the new numbers be a disappointment, I rather doubt it, I would guess that you don't pay for 1000 tests to see if there is gold there, they know where the gold is--you pay for 1000 samples to build credibility and just to be sure you direct the most effort toward the best holes--no sense in leaching anything but the highest concentrations. Thoughts from you gold experts out there, seems straitforward.
Finally, will some selling soon slow the stock's ascent. I for one will take some money off the table above 16 cents, that will have paid for my bet. But I am sure there are a lot of people getting ready to cash in 50k shares, but it is kind of a pittance. We watch a million or two shares trade hands each day, but that is not very much money--$140,000 at 14 cents right? ha ha ha, if MINE ever gets on the SI hotlist, or ever gets a visible mention on CNBC or in the Journal, imagine if some real money tried to pick up shares! There are not enough shares available for real money! This thing would just gap up a dime...or more.
Just my thoughts, hmmm, chart looks good lately. |
