It wasn't anything you said. It was the fact that two junior mining compnaies were on the front page of the Financial Post. I believe the national print media still has an effective punch. It wasn't your comment, but where they were. Lots of small investors read the Post, many more read the front page. This play was already "on many radar screens" and the article put it on many more. Your comments, though favorable, were not what gave the play much wider exposure, it was the front page that did it. I did "hold on to my seat" by the way. heheheh

***FINANCIAL POST Mr Metals & Jimsy - had the Post over like I said, expanded Tradestation intraday chart of Donner full screen for the last hr of trading on Fri Dec5/97 so we could see the action to the nearest minute, then on other computer went 1 by 1 through all of the SI postings prior to trading halt on the Friday. I proved beyond any doubt that we did not start a rumour about Donner. Even the Stockhouse posting was shown to the Post which is dated and timed 15 minutes after the VSE market closed. In fact it appears that we in SI didn't even find this Stockhouse post until about 11pm, better get on the ball guys. So there!! We are innocent, at least this time. I think I also proved that we were quite a respectable group of posters, not mythical whatevers!!! More to follow on that - will keep you Post-ed - no pun intended. In fact, I think the Reporter quite enjoyed our information exchanges, especially the scissors stuff, Ed going for a walk. others snoozing, etc.
