Scott, I don't think the Naxos story is near the finish line. As improbable as it looks to the negative dwellers, Naxos may rise from the ashes. To make the manager of Franklin Lake the President of Naxos is pure TQM. Few people like the details of TQM but, in my experience, it works. Who would know better about resurrecting Naxos than the manager of Franklin Lake? Who would be most likely to know what needs to be done to get results from Franklin Lake? The buying of Naxos shares is most likely coming from people who have made a similar logical, internal analysis or from those who know what is going on behind the scenes. The situation of Naxos is not as bleak as most people assume: we have assets to sell, new management, enough money to work on perfecting a recovery method. I would be surprised if I learned that new management WASN'T buying shares of NAXOF. Their futures depend on Naxos. There is now a new focus at Naxos and I think it is logical that they have the blessing of Mr. John, as he owns millions of shares of Naxos but has severed all official ties with Naxos Resources. However, Mr. John and his family will benefit if the new management succeeds. I believe they will succeed: a number of distractions have gone by the wayside. If they don't succeed, and we won't know that for at least a couple of years, except in the case of a success well before then, then hopefully most of us are diversified and won't be hurt that badly. I only have 10,000 shares of Naxos, at this time. I am tempted to buy more shares at these low prices. I don't believe that ALL of the previous drill results were invalid. However, I do believe that they were not repeatable. So, we now have the right people working on that problem, the former manager of Franklin Lake, money to do it, and enough time. I wish that those few people who are tempted to panick about Naxos' situation would wait until it's time to panick. We ain't even close to the end, yet. Those people who haven't sold their shares of Naxos haven't lost anything, yet, except maybe psychologically (on paper only). Talk about burn rates all you want--we've got new management (from the trenches), time, and enough assets and money to get a concrete answer about whether or not Franklin Lake will be economic. GOGI
