I just think that there are some catalysts in the near term (not related to the AAU deal) that could generate renewed interest in the stock. TSL, could you maybe share what these catalysts are that you see in the near term? I didn't want to get into a lengthy discussion last night for I don't want to offend any of us cult members. However, since we have now started a civilized conversation, maybe we could sort through the facts and separate them from the story we have all fallen in love with. Facts are the highly touted La Juliana property was a bust. Furthermore the high expectations from La Gitana, one of the main reasons many invested in the company, have to this day not been realized. The company is slowly moving its attention to other areas, such as Pena Blanca among others. Drilling has been slow, 21 holes in the past 14 months. Besides the probable 1 mil low grade stuff discovered at La Gitana, to date CKG has acquired it's gold and not discovered it. First by purchasing La Cecilia and now with the merger with AAU. The "Big News" was a dud simply because merging with AAU will ultimately make CKG a good takeover candidate only when the price of gold is over $750. (Obviously barring a great discovery on one of their properties, which is not happening soon because they are not drilling) IMHO, I don't see the price of gold moving over 750 this year or the next. So CKG's story, if and when it comes through is about three to five years away. Volume is low because there is simply no interest for now. There is no PR and news releases are scarce. We are still waiting on the JV news which should be coming soon, but I don't think that would significantly move the stock. So all in all, great company, great management and a wonderful story which in time will prove to be a great investment. But for this year and possibly the next the stock will remain under pressure in my opinion, and I can't change that no matter how many pints I have. Please don't shoot the messenger, thank you. Best, STF
