VP, One of these days the US investors will be talking about diamonds from Alberta and the NWT. Isn't the Diamet mine ready to open this year. That might be the trigger. Martin PS: Noticed you live in Los Altos. My cousins lived in an Eichler (sp?) on Alexander Way. Loved their house. It was a square house with a very large atrium in the middle. The entire house viewed the atrium. The front door went into the atrium. What a beautiful area. Now one lives in Portola Valley and one in Woodside. Talk about wealth! In my dreams. PPS: Seems like all our gains today have vanished. <EC,EG>

VP, it is true. Historically the Cdn. economy has been largely resource based, although this no longer holds as much as it once did. What would you rather talk about over breakfast, shares of Dia Met, or shares in Canadian Tire? :) Also, until recent years, the Cdn press and the financial community treated US stocks like 'foreign stocks' & a lot of people put way too much focus on the few same old boring names in the Canadian markets like Molson and Bell Canada. People are getting a lot more sophisticated now. The penny markets have long been a source of amusement for Canadians, and easy profits for more than a few promoters. This of course is changing with the substantial numbers of cool tech co's that are born here now. Obviously though we talk about resources over breakfast for good reason. For a lot of people, oil, gold, nickel, etc. put breakfast on the table.
