This is the nature of spec, that these questions exist ... without them we'd be 'investors' or some foolish thing. We are asking ourselves these same questions all the time, or should be, eh. I know myself my own discipline of asking questions has been much improved since discovering SI and having access to the questions of others more experienced and smarter too. Quite often i have thought that there is the real value to online chat - in the questions, more than in the various inevitably conflicting answers from various parties. Once the facts are known, it's not spec anymore ... in the meantime, long live the questions ... imho.

Will seems to prefer stockwatch to SI, maybe because they pay him to do the StreetWires and that sets up a loyalty, i don't know ... he has come out with the odd phrase in re Jordex that i felt was unfairly negative, but for his thoroughness and fairmindedness he certainly retains my respect, fwiw.

On what do you think a billion-dollar market cap for Rex was based?
... that's the basic question, isn't it. Even today's half billion, for that matter. Granted two factors - it has an excellent and effective promotion machine, and the hand of government may dip a little less heavily in camel pasture than in moose pasture ... but beyond that, what? .... yes, i did hear the rumour about the mile-wide kimberlite, but not of any chain of custody testing, nor of diamonds in economic quantities ... if you believe there are, what is your source and why do you trust him/her? ... good luck with it .... cheers
