teevee: Off topic in a sort of way. I agree with everybody about watching insider activity but IMHO insider activity has cost different people in the U.S. a lot of money on both the longs by selling early and the shorts by selling early as well. quicken.com I am not trying to promote WSP but in the example above Insiders has not timed the market well. I think options has really made it easy for insiders to sell stock. Only a Opinion cruncher

Except for a couple of days I missed, here are the daily trading figs for Nov and part of Dec . IMO there is no significance that hasn't already been discussed to the Dec 18 insider report.

Teevee, I appreciate your willingness to go on record this: >>The insiders,officers & directors took down 2.7 million units at $2.00 each or $2.25 flowthrough each (fact).<< One interesting thing to note is that the insider sales posted thus far could not have paid for nearly this many units. There is another question that I hope you and the thread might be able to help me answer. Does anyone know why the have drilled so many holes into the pits that they took the bulk samples from? This strikes me at first glance as kind of a futile exercise. If you are going to take bulk samples on these subcrops, why not just get out the bulldozer and go for it. Why bother drilling 16 holes into the pit? regards - Tom
