Hey there red, cheer up. We were all a little excited about half a dozen pipes on Hilltop, but what the heck. The main course is still there and growing every day.
There is nothing disappointing about the prospect of a lot more tonnage under the north shore.
Anyway, just for fun I went down to the local jewelry shop to inspect the diamonds. In Saskatoon, you can buy a 1 carat sparkler for $5,000.00. Top quality? You have to be joking. It was not pure white by a long shot and had an inclusion that was visible to the naked eye like a popped popcorn in a shot glass.
It seems to me that if Winspear has a high percentage of large clear stones $300.00 per carat is no pipe dream at all. I think that Winspear should announce right now that they will market their own goods. That they will all be cut and polished and mounted in Canada by Winspear. That they will all be fingerprinted, lazer etched with a spear and that they will be the premier diamond of choice for the discriminating buyer.
A web site will be set up to accomadate standard orders from around the world and that special stones will be auctioned off through the site once a month. An independent evaluator will inspect and grade all stones and issue a certificate to accompany the stone.
The woman showing me the diamond was pretty sure that she was going to make a sale because of the way that I was examining the stone and asking serious questions. By the time that we were done I confessed that I had changed my mind and that I was going to invest my money in diamonds stocks instead of getting married. I said that it was simply because I thought that it might be a better investment. She gave me the strangest look and then laughed her head off.
Reminds me of another shopping expedition from long ago. My wife had commented several times that she needed some new gloves. So with great reluctance I entered into that place where all men fear to go-a womens' clothing store. I immediately felt like a stranger in a strange land and kept one eye on the exit and half hoped that I could accomplish the task without actually being seen.
A very beautiful young woman approached me and asked if I needed any help. She was a real sincere sweetheart and looked me right in the eye. I stammered a little bit and started to say that I was looking for a pair of ladies' black leather--and for some reason I couldn't spit it out. I think that it was something in her eye that distracted me and when I stalled her eyes and face were just too distracting.
Her pupils swelled up to about three times their previous size and she was turning really red (no offence red). She was blushing I think but there was also at least a hundred different expressions that crossed her face while she tried to anticipate and imagine what it was that I was stalled on. "Gloves" I said when I finally got control over my voice.
Now if you think that she was blushing before... well now she was really blushing and it was certainly not anything that I had said to cause it-and she couldn't hide it. I had her in the palm of my hand.
Well what can you say-I shopped for a pair of ladies' black leather..........gloves all afternoon-strictly for scientific reasons, you understand. I simply had to know if all women would react in exactly the same manner.
Anyway red, I sold a few shares that I bought from JP back to him yesterday too. But I bought those from him at $2.95 just for that purpose and to put a dollar in my pocket so I make no apologies.
I remain longterm bullish on Winspear and expect that we shall see lots of price swings in the coming months.
Have a good weekend.
