Three companies i always think of together - bay, mfl, and xcl ... lots of similarities, front and centre being how cheap they are for what they have in hand ... crj could be added to the list, they had great news out after friday's close, but just watch, i betcha the stock sells off ... also aur, it's in copper and a producer, but in the same position in that it doesn't get the respect it merits imho ... there are so many others, i just don't know what it will take to end this phenomenon ... for much of the day on friday, my 1k bid at 1.40 and 2k bid at 1.30 were all that was holding bay.to above 1.20 bid ... that's absurd, just like xcl at .20US. It would be good to attract some geological expertise over here, eh ... a Claude Cormier, an EC ... best thing is to get EC battling some jerkoff over errors in fact, lot of detail gets brought out that way, and no little attention -g- ... cheers
