'I'd just buy 'em here' - yes, in some cases that would be smart, to at least get starter positions in the prime candidates ... still, you've got to pick well to make the most of that strategy - once things get rolling it will be a matter of an ongoing revolving search for the truths du jour of the Church Of What's Happening Now ... every little time period - pick any entry and exit dates - becoming a horse race where the trick is to get your half sold on the double, third on the triple, whatever, and roll the cash into the very next thing to move ... which can't be done, of course, best you can hope for is a decent average while keeping house-money paper on a selection that hopefully includes one or more home runs ... but it will go on for a decent period imho - as the odd drillbit success combined with metals price improvement makes exploration financing possible, the scent will be picked up by some tiny fraction of the hot money left from the playing of dot.bombs, and then we're into hog heaven for Howe Street for months or years. tsx.to - lol - stockhouse.ca imr.v - had this one on watchlist for ages ... flat-lined for over six months now ... yes, i did notice recent developments, and they are worth tuning in to, for sure ... now there's one where the 'whatthehell, time to pick up a few' tactic would likely apply .... phnpi so far .... ditto tnk.to - phnpi Do you know what 'phnpi' means - 'poster has no personal interest' ... or phpi 'poster has personal interest' ... comes from the puppy players' threads of '99 or so ... there are other acronyms as well - Subject 37457 iau.v and ybr.v - these are two i like for silver, and hold a bit of both ... the former waking up somewhat [and i like the allies - Apex, High River, Jipangu], the latter still very much in sleepytime but promo is planned for the financing/drilling cycle on their property just south of Alamo Dorado, it is rumoured ply.v - there was some discussion of glacial activity on the Altiplano - well i doubt very much if the glaciers ever moved significant material at that elevation that far south [anybody know the elevation of San Miguel?] ... there are glaciers in the mountains of México, they tend to be quite small and mostly seasonal ... the highest point of the country, Pico de Orizaba, i have seen many times from the road and have never seen it without snow ... also, the whole range running north to south and forming the eastern side of the Valle de México is called Sierra Nevada - 'snowy mountains' ... there are some fotos here, with elevations and other good data as well - montero.planet.com.mx But glacial activity to the point of moving material over flat or rolling ground - no, i doubt that ... they call the last ice age the Laurentide Ice Sheet, and it didn't make it as far south as Texas, as i recall .... there were fair-sized localised glaciers in the mountain valleys, of course ..... one time i had a great snowball fight with some kids south of the 17th parallel [that's way south of Cancún or Cuba] in the hills near San Cristóbal .... on a school day - when it snows there they don't expect the kids to show up until it melts ... which happens about four minutes after the sun hits -g- [edit] - www3.usal.es .. 'recursos internet geología' ... just stashing this here [edit 2] - here we are [from above page] ... looks like the scoop on glaciers - glacier.rice.edu [edit 3] - nope, mostly on Antarctica
