As I am sure you appreciate Eva, Rocket's calls are his calls, if we decide to buy them they become our calls and 100% our own investment decision.

Cheers,
Ogi

I lost money on his last call.

I didn't buy it.

If Red were real he would have bought me shares and sent them to me COD. If this happens again I am going to the superintendent of brokers and demand that if he recommends something at least he buys some shares for his friends.

Service is what it's all about.

I have really good tip but I don't want to tell anyone. For one thing they haven't done much for me lately. And for another if I tell them and they lose money, they will hate me. And given this market, since it makes logical sense to buy it, it should go down.

I don't know but I suspect more than a few if they try to follow everything RR does. He's too quick for me and I do not follow on everything, e.g. I never bought KEX.v. I called Graham O'Neal and asked him if he knew the radioactivity level of the barite and he hadn't thought of that before but said the lab was going to do a complete set of tests on the bulk samples. I asked him about his drilling plans with Senator on the Carlin Trend and he said they had found indicator minerals and were going to drill one hole and proceed only if they found something. That's insane, especially for Nevada exploration. I knew he did not know enough to run an exploration company.

On the GXS coal I was slow to the game and taking much more risk than many others in that my basis is above the present price. I had people telling me to buy GXS.v since, I don't know, $4-6 range but I thought coal, there's so much of it in the US and elsewhere who needs more. Then I was taking an historical geology course last semester and when we got to the Carboniferous and I learned how coal deposits are formed and that a lot of the coal in the eastern US is actually a formerly single coal bed the lights started going off. Then I looked at the map and saw how flat it is in eastern SK and I believe located over the Canadian Shield where it would never have been subject to the kind of deformations the eastern US saw during the Grenville Orogeny. Then I did the math that I've posted here several times and the story got huge. RR and his cohorts gave me the idea for GXS.v but my own due diligence gave me the confidence to speculate with my family's cash.

Point is, caveat emptor, do you own due diligence and don't buy anything you're not willing to take full personal responsibility for.
