I would add further that those investors who bother to dig beyond the obvious (SEC filings, etc), have the opportunity to be better informed and more apt to get into a position while the price is low, etc. But there is also more risk. Comes back to what everyone has been saying all along...risk vs. reward. Either trade on only absolutely totally proven information and maybe miss a large portion of the appreciation, or buy now with admittedly more risk for the chance at realizing the full appreciation. IMO. Eric

HI Brian.You are walking the walk...but not talking the talk, Brian. Your interpretation of my comment as being as a gang of ignorant sheep dancing around our living rooms when we hear rumors or hearsay. and Most of us realize this story may take awhile to materialize. I do not mind skeptics and feel they add a nice balance to MINE discussions. Keep asking questions, but please keep the "us against them" mentality to a minimum. IS...my point. This thread is compelled to answer even a blantantly obvious statement and "smite it". The optimism on this thread or PMA as you people call it got into a pyschic frenzy last night. Would those people be proud they "sucked" somebody into buying at top dollar today ? I accept the criticism, but you were not one of the "dancers" yet you still felt compelled to answer, even though it was obvious you were not part of the "described situation". That in itself proliferates the "us vs them" mentality that you so wish to avoid! By taking a rather straightforward statement and deriving "ignorant sheep dancing" contributes to that polarization. When one threader says " I smell $3.00, the frenzy commences, statements of airline spies and others feed the frenzy! take this scenario with the equally irrational comment of a .02c prediction and the previous frenzy now switches to smite out the naysayer!! As I have said many times before, this thread does not belong to the longs, it belongs to the SI contributors, whether they are long or short, this stock!!! If one person says the stock isn't worth Bre-X paper, all jump on him as a shorter or (the one I love) a person looking for cheap shares. Until this thread reacts equally "rebellious" to a forecast of $6.00 then the "us vs them" will proliferate.... after all it is a "us vs them" if you think about it. You own the paper, you want it to go up, those that own it short or want a cheaper price want it to go down. Can you think of any "us vs them" that is better??? Again I appreciate the critique, however, I think you took too liberal an interpretation of my point. the Chief
