The important promotion that Randy does in fact is not to the public. He makes no bones of the fact that he is promoting his company as an eventual takeover target. Believe me that Glamis (and others perhaps such as MDG and AEM??) are well aware of what he is doing. They find the gold and then let the miners mine it. What CKG had done (we should not give all the credit to Randy because Alain Charest and the whole team of geologists certainly play a crucial part) has been nothing short of extraordinary. They have made a major precious metals discovery at La Gitana complex while avoiding dilution and conserving cash. And this is not to mention the acquiring of several other promising properties such as La Calavera which could prove to be the next WTZ (WTC.TO). Randy's priority has been to increase the long term shareholders value. He need not and should not worry about the short term traders gains and games.

Grusum, I understand your caution regarding stock promotion but I reiterate there is good promotion and bad promotion. There is also promotion for the purpose of pump and dump and there is promotion for the purpose of gaining an audience and stock support for your company. They are different and sometimes the promotional efforts can tell me directly if I am dealing with a company committed to long term value creation or if the company's primary focus is to distribute their cheap shares to the late comers for hefty profits. If you were a manufacturer and had an outstanding product well reviewed by Consumer Reports but new to the market would you never take out and ad? Never attend a trade show and display yourself to your end user? Of course you would, you should and so should explorers. How they do it and at what expense relative to the budget is part of DD. Cheers, Ogi
