Hecla, I'm well aware. I traded it about 6 or 7 years when it was at 9 and got rid of it about a month later at $12. I'll check Glamis out. Thanks. I once owned a small cap building stock, named Ryland Group ( RYL). The stock traded close to 50% below book value for a few years before it eventually tripled in 98, I think. Ryland had great management. That is the key when your dealing with companies that are selling below book value. You remember Caldor?

<<Hecla is trading at less than $1.50 and has a book value of $2.11. >> IMHO HL can not really be called a "Gold Stock" though I hold it. Have you really checked out the amount of aquarium rock & kitty litter they mine? Have you looked at the silver? These things are changing for CDE & HL, & should be checked out.

Challenge to WTO Creates New Politics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Kelly Patricia O?Meara omeara@insightmag.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- An important new coalition contends that secretive decisions of the World Trade Organization threaten U.S. jobs and sovereignty. Now they?re going political. Let us resolve to reform our politics, so that power and privilege no longer shout down the voice of the people,? said Bill Clinton during his first inaugural address. Last December, nearly seven years after he spoke those words, Clinton was met in Seattle by tens of thousands of protesters determined to be heard. It may have been the voice of the people, but he didn?t like it. In scenes reminiscent of the days when Clinton marched in antiwar demonstrations against U.S. involvement in Southeast Asia, the protesters met tear gas, flash-bang grenades, armored personnel carriers, attack helicopters and rubber bullets. For the more than 50,000 who took to the streets demonstrating against the policies of the World Trade Organization, or WTO, the fight is about the power and privileges of an elite class that controls U.S. wealth and politics. It is a war against multinational corporations and governments that view workers as pawns in a global chess game. Despite attempts by corporate media to spin the demonstrators as a bunch of longhair hippies left over from the 1960s, that couldn?t be further from the truth. There is a small cadre of anarchists making mischief, of course, and a handful of other radicals. But in the main these are middle-American workers, environmentalists, conservative nationalists and populists. So strange a mix may have looked to the lobbyists of the Fortune 500 like the aliens in the bar scene in Star Wars, but to others this coalition is a reflection of America and is becoming a force with which to be reckoned. Teamsters and longshoremen, religious activists, campus crusaders against sweatshops, Reform Party furies, feminists, Birchers, human-rights activists, Buchanan populists, greens and consumerists united for one common goal ? to dismantle the WTO and stop (cont) insightmag.com
