*WARNING,WARNING novel below.Not Lost in Space, but read at your own risk* Bob, I have discussed my reasons both positive and negative in past posts. But, I see the main positive right now that there is gold in Bolivia, and most probably on GE's property if you believe in history. The other 2 positives of yours are questionable IMO. People con and are conned every day. I have worked with people in power who make more money in 1 year than most in a lifetime and they were not trustworthy! AS a matter of fact they were/are scoundrals. I feel almost anyone can be conned or bought. I am not saying these men or anyone else in MINE are Dirty; I just don't personally know. But one thing is certain, without sitting down or working with these "people" over time I will always stay skeptical. I'll give an example. Last year I invested in a company that was the #1 high flyer on the Big board. Went through the facilities, met the owner, and new the products(my company used them and my headquarters were down the street).Guess what, the books were cooked and the CEO was a flaming con man. He is sitting in jail right now with more charges than you can shake a stick at. That company is Centennial Technologies and I never thought it could happen at that level. Oh well, you invest long enough(for me 20 years) you see/step in a lot. I personally new that company and it still happened(fraud). So, I have to tell you SEC charges of fraud in a mining stock takes the air out of my sail.The bottom line for me; very few +'s many more -'s, right now... By the way, money, gold, power, they can corrupt almost anyone. Also the "fever" definitely can change the old brain waves....Good luck to you. AS always, JMHO.
