Make no mistake. I have no newsletter to sell and no vested public interest in being politically correct or even getting ego strokes for sitting on high and dispensing buy and sell, pump and dump advice so that you can sell into strength on thin issues that you great buzz with, along with CC, marcos, jp/sensi and whoever else lights your candle. Now, here's a screamer of a post I just read of yours, elsewhere: I can't believe it: you used the word political risk, the very thing I got shot to hell for mentioning as part of the legit gold debate on the BREADTH ENCOMPASSING thread you've abandoned with haste and particular glee. Here's your quote: >> The ideal would be to hedge the SA political risk with something in a safe setting. Obviously if SA ever blew up, you would have interruptions to what, about two thirds of the world's PGM supply and a monster home run elsewhere. There's SWC, but it's a dog.<< But the comment that really shows how smart you are is that last one: "There's SWC, but it's a dog." Now, just how long have you known that? You want to know how long I've known that and had the balls to say so? Check out the SWC thread on here, oh, and go back about 3 years, when I tried to alert the gung-ho momo/pump and dump types like yourself that there was a problem, a BIG problem with SWC and to get out of the stock. Info doesn't get any better than from consultants who have been hired by SWC to evaluate and offer paid advice to help them, and talk to them after they get home, just shaking their heads at the mess they were in even as they were 'opening up the extensions to the existing orebody' Yeah, you may think you're good, but everyone has 20-20 hindsight, Russ. I made my call and stated why , and was thoroughly trashed for it while the stock was still climbing to the 35-38 level before it did the swan dive so apparent in the charts. Now THAT took balls and research and knowing the right insider industry people by their first names no less, ayup, the same ones that grusum thinks are so damn worthless and undesireable... Think about it. OH, and one other thing?... Bob Johnson you say, is noble for doing what he's doing, and then you claim you are noble for running away because you couldn't control the conversation here by someone who didn't buy your god-complex here and then showed you up and your lack of Acurate recall about what this thread purpose statement really said? You're just insecure and need all these guys and dolls to buy what you are pushing so that you can get out of your positions. You're no different than the incestuous thinkers on GPGI or IPMCF...your fellow threaders will learn you can't say sell, because you are: 1) in too deep and want out first 2) can't say sell, because you can't say buy either, due to SEC regs. Your day is coming...SI's Tokyo Joe found out the hard way...you and Claude will get yours when you least expect it. It's just the nature of the topic, the newsletter biz and the SEC critter. Thank goodness you don't get to be final judge and jury of what is "contribution" to this community. Thank goodness gold is bigger than your analytical pump and dump skillset. Thank goodness there is more history known by others than your ability to read current mining reports and then parse them out after you've taken your position. Thank goodness I don't walk in your shoes. When you get what's coming to you, you won't even want to walk in your own shoes! gold_tutor
