***EDITORIAL FOR ALL*** Look, the gold is either there or it's not. Turner knows the Bre-X story very well. He has either made a completely conscious decision to be dishonest, OR he has analyzed all the options and feels very comfortable with the numbers released. He knows full well that even a small breach of trust at this stage will be looked on very harshly, and I don't think he wants to get to know Leroy and Bubba in an intimate way behind bars (that is a joke -- he would actually be put in a minimum security facility with color TV and a sauna, but still he would have to live with being watched every time he sat on the toilet to do his business -- very uncomfortable). There has to be a certain amount of trust in the people running this company. I don't know them personally. I've seen some suggestions that they are wonderful and hard-working, and others that they are calculating and greedy. All I'm saying is, they are not so stupid as to not realize the implications of fabricating or even embellishing numbers in this distrustful post-Bre-X mining world. I'm sure that has something to do with why the stock did not simply run completely away today, although I will take a >100% gain each and every day of the week. The full report will be posted to the website I'm certain. You mining experts can then interpret it. I have chosen to take the early risk for believing the exceptional in return for a king's ransom. You just don't buy as many shares at $2.00 when all the doubt has been removed. You may not have the unknown butterflies at that time, but you also won't have the "I'm about to pop" feeling when you multiply your shares times several dollars -- or, if this is really the mega-find, times tens or hundreds of dollars! I say, Prove it up, or Prove it down! I've staked my claim and will probably scramble over the weekend to stake some more on Tuesday if it still looks the same. CNBC, come and get us. Mining experts, right this way. I want the mother-lode, and I want it now! I remain, SOROS ps Everyone should make a pledge to themselves right now that they are going to use 25% to help others if you hit it big. I do believe that the positive energy from that can only help. What goes around, comes around. I'm counting on Turner understanding this principle.
