You are starting to get the idea. The old ploy, when promoters could get free stock from a company, was to borrow as many unregistered shares as they could and while the drills were turning promote the shishkebob out of the shares and sell more than they actually owned. The real fear was that they might find an actual mine. Usually it was inevitable after a few holes that they would run out of ore and if they did not, the property manager could be instructed to 'run out' anyway. So the stock would come crashing down and delivery ofthe over-sold stock could be made at lower prices. It was always a slam dunk deal, that few caught on to, or if they did, they never let on. Fort Knox Gold in Fawcett Twp. was such a play (Ni in 5 holes) even if it was run by Inco in the latter stages. A guaranteed overdrill and drop. You can always tell when it is hard to sell at the perceived high. For some funny reason, the brokers are hard to get ahold of. Funny. Could never figure that out. Or they have some lame excuse as to why they can't sell your stock. EC:<-}
