DUH!!! Talk about a contradiction to her previous statement...

In her defense Ed, (cringe...don't hit me) I have been quoted by the papers myself and they sure know how to screw up what was really said compared to what they want their readers to think was said.

Aside: By the way Mr. Canada Stockwatch man...you have several hundred dollars from me and relatives....watch who you "flame"

Ed - I also talked to Leslie yesterday and was quite convinced that she isn't in a postion to specifically prove her comment as she works out of an environment that doesn't have Internet access so isn't working from personal observations. She is merely repeating what people told her she says, and guess what that is heresay.

The rumour did not start on the Internet in the SI Donner chat group and I can prove that beyond doubt. The reporter said he would come over and let me show him.

The facts as we know are the records of someone buying up the stock and this is recorded in Stockwatch. On what basis did they start bidding up the stock is the question? It could have been a broker who started a rumour for all we know, and Donner had come down to be a bottom-fish ripe for a little action in the context of their field program.

Was it coincidence that the Stockhouse made the post about 1 hr or more after the markets closed and sort of get it right about the intercept of massive sulphides? This could be the Internet source that people are referring to but the markets were closed, so no harm done there through the Internet.

It will be interesting to see the outcome of this. There really wasn't a lot of stock traded before the halt and it certainly wasn't all by the same person, or he/she must have several accounts.

I am more interested in the assay of the 15 meters of massive sulphides and whether the VSE did any meaningful surveillance to ensure that was a correct way to describe the intercept and reopen trading. This could come back to haunt the VSE in that they perhaps should have been more certain of the prospects of a meaningful assay before reoping trading based on the wording of massive sulphides.

In the context of this program, previous releases, the terminology used, and their assays, the use of the term massive sulphides should not come out in the assay of this 15 meters to be significantly less than our pots and pans cores.

Guess we will find out soon, and lets hope it is as expected, a significant intercept with the appropriate designation so that many were not misled. And I guess the other thing that will be interesting in a month is the insider trading reports.
