Gosh . . . you have been on SI four months longer than I have. Fourteen years. That's as long as seven fat years and seven lean years. Like pharaoh's dream that Joseph interpreted. I hope that this does not mean that the price of gold is headed for seven (or twelve) lean years! Fortunately, we don't have to base financial decisions on Scripture.

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.
