I have NEVER seen anyone dissect a Sedar report on expenses, options and warrants for instance. Since I am very reluctant to be the main guru (my goal is to be a key thinker/contributor, nothing more) here, the gauntlet I'd like to lay down to drive the success of this thread is to see a little less cheerleading and more yeoman work. (*) I have looked hard to separate out the people that just seem to engage in endless self serving cheap PPs and then end up doing nothing or little. The ideal model for an exploration junior is to be a GAG and very shareholder value driven. But, I'm regressing, what I'm wondering about this group is how many event driven free looks we will get. Some may remember the old days, when the quick and alert were able to scarf up names like MR and YMC.u because so many people were asleep. Are we in that climate? I sort of think so still, that's why you now see me with so few (CQR, and a small position in SUL) of those names now. I think I'll get a look. I believe the HUI names like GG, AGE, MDG, GLG that everybody trades in the sector are just overpriced. They are great low cost companies, but to make big money, you need to find the NEXT GLG or MDG. Right now (IMHO) you are getting increased visibility on who those outfits are, and like I said they're cheap. So the rather long winded answer to your question: the yeoman work needs to be much more bottoms up oriented. (*) contrast this to the Big Dog Boom Room, which I've found absolutely incredible in terms of developing my research and work on the O part of GOD. Subject 50987 That's what I'd like to see going on here.> I would be the first to agree that it is not fair here; you are carrying too much of the load yourself. Unfortunately I do not know how to do the scientific analysis you give us; but I would love to learn and participate. I sure I am not alone in this. I do not know if there is kind of training we could do. The other possibility is to recruit some other "gurus". Surely they must be out there. Maybe with some combination we could get you the help you need. I do hope you stick around, and irregardless, we are all very grateful. Message 18679353
