Thank you Syder, I enjoy conversations regarding what other board members think about what's going on, its a learning experience for me. You address some very real and reasonable scenarios that could play out as we move forward, and the thoughts and concerns you present on possible coming cycle's that may play out from time to time is real and helpful. I don't expect the miners to catapult higher or capitulate lower at this time of year, it certainly is possible that the cycle has paused for now, and I cant disagree with any of the well thought-out points that you illustrated in your post. Everything has a cycle, nothing is permanent or solidified when it comes to money issues, everything has a historic time proven cycle and nothing is truly new for long, which suggest that the same events can recur in a cyclical manner repeatedly year after year or decade to decade. When I look at the many other technical indicators that I frequent from time to time regarding MUX, and a few of the miners and stocks I own, it becomes obvious that the best I could hope for is a moderately sideways stair step to lower levels throughout the holidays or an advancing bear cycle or when trends fall out of favor, versus, a wide open waterfall retreat as we move into such scenarios, unless of course a disastrous report emerges within a stocks fundamental performance, which can sometimes be detected early by using technical analysis. I would be content with backfilling some of the technical damage left behind. I knew back on 09/02/25, when MUX gaped up on over 6-million shares, which never got tested, that chances favored a revisit at some point, but I hope I'm very wrong on that one, that scenario would take MUX below $12.00. At this point, I don't see a full blown hard retreat, I hope we don't see an aggressive waterfall reaction with large down gaps at any point between now and the next leg up . As you pointed out about the short term bottom, I do expect dead-cat bounces as players jump in and out for quick profit which only intensifies the obvious trend once the event fully unfolds and or implodes, those gaps that we see up or down, are not something I like seeing, even when they fill and move higher because there are always some that get left open, (sometimes by design.) The rabbit in the hat of course is Los Azules and we still have several years to wait. I've always enjoyed researching a stocks behavior, it help me understand direction. I used to traded on technical moves of stocks I've owned but I gave up trading, so, ...I do what I do not only out of habit but also to easy the pain that comes with investing hard earned money. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, it help me understand things better and I encourage others to share their thoughts. James
