Right on! I heard a rumour, identified it as such, and posted it here, asking that someone a little closer to Toronto and TK check it out. I will post rumours here if I hear them, even if I think their coming from some promoter, or an out and out hack, because this forum is our eyes and ears to check these things out, and turn them into facts, or b.s. I think all that's important, is that we identify them as rumours, and no intelligent or prudent investor should or would rush out to buy on a rumour. We all should do our own DD. On the other hand, I can recall many times over the past 30 years that I heard a rumour, had no way to check it out except by phoning a broker, and by the time it was confirmed back to me, the stock price had escaped upward out of a prudent investors reach. This forum offers an opportunity to pass these tidbits on to everyone, and may give us a early leg up on the professional traders, brokers, and other stock manipulators.
Mr. Forthright, I appreciate your suspicions, I've been there myself, but it's also fundamental that when we find a little crumb, and share it with our fellow investors on the thread, we protect the rumour source, who may be promoting, but also may really be stretching the limits of their ability to share out some real info for a friend, or in return for some other favour, or for cash, and so on. Good little bits of information are sometimes paid for personally by the members of this forum, and then shared for free with all the rest. Some members probably pay as much as hundreds of dollars per year for fast e-mail and fax advisories that they can't quote or identify specifically, because they are copyrighted, and they will lose their access if they identify their source. You will just have to judge for yourself which of us to trust, and which not, just as you would have to do if you met us in person. Please stay with the forum and kick us around a little bit now and then, though, we don't want to become too complacent about this great stock!
