Choice One or two: 1)its like they are playing right into the hands of the shorts (assuming there is much of a short interest in a .47 stock). 2)its like they are playing right into the hands of the shorts (assuming there is much of a short interest in a .47 stock:-), Larry B. !!! You know that IPMCF was shorted so to speak all the way down! yes, undeclared shorters can be here. Period. Even the guy who states -"Why Tell?" I say, yes, predeclarred telling should be mandatory, or the shorting should thus, if no such RULE, be seen from all such posting as you know dam well that there is shorting interest, in a 47 cent stock as it is near a buck stock in Canada and most of my Canadian Golds are decimenated down to a dime,or quater- anyways. So, 75 cents CN $ looks like a current markek short canadiate, now. IMHO. Chuca

Larry, I agree that GPGI has blundered here and now we need to see how they fix that blunder. Blunder is not new to their vocabulary, I may say. I frequently blunder and so do you, I would bet. My approach is to fix it as quickly and as expeditiously as possible--I suggest that they do the same--ala Barney Fife--"nip it in the bud"! As a soldier, I do not attempt to defend an indefensible position, but seek higher ground or a better position to take my stand--I suggest that GPGI do the same!! While they are doing that, they need to address former issues with the stockholders. There should be a system of announcement, followup and status. The issue should remain on the board until it becomes a non issue. An example is the status of the ball mill, and receipts, and now the environmental issue. I personally think that they erred in not announcing receipts, no matter how small and unrepresentative. We are not babies. After all, we have endured much and then more. With no takeover bid on the table, the company should look to its strength which is present loyal stockholders both large and small and seek to establish a better relationship. These are my personal opinions and they are unpaid--I have not bought nor sold this stock today and not in the last week or month, but I reserve the right to do so at my discretion!! Discretionary, Jack!!
