The big story on NGD was back in October-December when the stock was selling for less per share than the cash it had in the bank.

The continuing story is that it is very well-managed. They have mothballed operations that are not profitable enough and have bought back $50 million of their debt (not stock) at a discount, spending $30 million to retire it. They also are steadily lowering costs of producing gold and have a strong positive cash flow.

One of Canada's most successful billionaire investor/philanthropists, Seymour Schulich, owns about 12% of the compand and Pierre Lassonde is involved in its direction.

You can look all this up easily on the Internet.

I got deeply in at an average price of under $1.00 a share--a big block for 80 cents. This was two months or so ago. The stock has sold as high as $10 in the past 52 weeks. My holding of NGD is now about 10% of my family's entire net worth. I see no reason to do any selling.
