Ralph, you figure you have the right to tell me how to trade? I do not cede that right. As for the rest of it, life is too short to spend mad at people, or worrying about their feelings. Who knows how much time we have here, but I wanna spend it enjoying myself. "Paranoia, will destroy ya." Go to the casino and have some fun. CD

poly risk in ecuador is high. corruption is high. narco's are rife and terrorism which we don't hear about is bad too. back in the bush you don't want to be without knowing exactly what you are doing. like columbia and venezuela. I can go anywhere in Canada the bush and stake claims. Only worry is bears and not much of that. And the crooks on Bay street. Nowadays the way the gov'ts are going there is significant bs poly risk. Ont gov backed off their scary 13% diamond royalty, but it was a cliff hanger. As bad as ecuador's scares almost. Newfoundland looks bad from time to time when they beat up on inco threatening to take the property away from them if they did not go into production and build smelter. Finally Inco beat the problem by hiring the gov't shell engineering crooks lavalin to run interference. Sell shares to liberals, get permitted. BC has gone back to scary telling Northgate not to develop their copper resource Kemess north. Bad stuff. Even alberta has gone scary with their oil sands royalty hikes. let's lose jobs, collect money. Is that why we hired government? to prey upon business as if it had its own printing press? The joke is the boys with the printing press are always broke. They just want to make everybody in as bad debt as they are. But Ecuador threatening to ban open pit mining is a real hoot. Shooting themselves square in the balls, missing the foot entirely. And you don't think its dangerous back in the bush in Ecuador? that is because you have never been there. I have seen the seamy underbelly of mexico, peru, etc. cause I know people who lost their properties down and pretty near their lives there due to corruption, hoodlum and government. There is no rule of law even approximately down there. It's all mob and social groups and pandering politicians. Forget going to court in peru, mexico, venezuela, ecuador. You have a soft snowball's chance in hell in Ecuador in getting a mine going, and you will meet crazy groups, but it at least an andesite rock's chance in this country and its melting temp it 2 degrees hotter than hell. better the devil you know.
