Hi Tupac. I always believe that "comfort level" has a lot to do with buying securities. We are suffering two effects right now; 1) Embarking on a big project with Minerals in the toilet,and; 2) With Minerals in the toilet we are embarking on a big project. You said: I talked to my broker yesterday (she knows Tom Kennedy well) and she was quite frustrated with the current level that it is trading at. I think I would talk to that broker again to find out "why" she is "frustrated" with the current price! If she is frustrated because she believes the price should be higher, then just chalk-up the weakness to a poor market, and assume that the market will recover, and theoretically the the stock should recover. If she is frustrated because things aren't "panning out" I think I would question what she believes "should" have happened by now. IMHO I hold "many" shares. I am not losing any sleep. Not because I am happy with the present price, but because we really are in the infancy stage of this drill program. If we were to find that the drill holes presently drilled didn't turn up anything more than "good indicators", it still wouldn't worry me! I have been part of some early stage drilling on a number of projects 90% of them turned up dust in the first groups of drill holes. Thats because as much as we like to rely on technology, IP, Geophysical studies, etc. etc. the company is still "looking" for a deposit. (Which as it implies, they don't know exactly where the deposit is) The "dusty" holes however start to put together a geological map of the property and through proper interpretation can help you locate what you are looking for. You said:So my question to all of you -is - Do you think that this company is worth holding on to -or should I get rid of these shares and move on to the next mineral find??? Like MM I am not a broker so would not recommend anything to you in that regard. I have a "gutometer", that is too say, if I can't sleep at night, am worried about my investment, don't feel comfortable then I sell, even if the stock was Microsoft. If I can be more vague and noncommital, don't hesitate to ask!!! the Chief
