Don't know if anyone caught the move on JDX today. Hit .73 on 562,000 shares. If Haywood hadn't dumped in the last 20 minutes of trading the .70 mark would have probably held since it had lots of support. I bought some at .56 yesterday since I figured .55 would be the support level. The triple top at .55 during the past 4 months and 100,000 share resistance there for the past 2 months at .55 qualified .55 as a support level to me once it was broken. It has now bounced off the .56 mark twice in the past 7 days so I am fairly sure that is the short term bottom. The move today caught me off guard and I have don't know what caused the move yet. I've pointed this stock out to this thread a couple of times in the low .40's last month and to the Day trading thread when it broke through the resistant point at .55 last week. This is now my biggest holding by far and have only taken a bit of profit in the mid 60's during the first run-up to lower my average cost. I am now holding for the next news release which will make or break this stock (hopefully not break since I am long) Background for anyone how cares - ignore this if you are just a chart reader and my apologize for obvious hyping: Jordex announced a while back that it was getting out of the mining industry. On Jan 25 they announced that they retained Hamilton Group LLC, of White Plains, New York, to assist it in the identification and investigation of new business opportunities. Hamilton also placed a person on Jordex's board and took down a PP for 800,000 at 48 cents per share. They also added Carlo Civelli to the board of directors. From what I have heard Mr. Civelli is a well know venture capitalist who has been in the game for a couple of decades. On Sept 30 (the last Sedar report) JDX had $21,175,000 cash with $95,000 in debt. They also had their investment in LOMA DE NIQUEL which they valued at $2,958,000 and according to the company will result in moderate future cash flow beginning in 2002. In the 3 months ending in Sept they made $1,083,000 in interest and $1,292,000 in foreign exchange. They had a burn rate of $189,000/month ($560,000 total of which 88,000 was for exploration). If they have continued with this interest income and burn rate with possible foreign exchange benifits they should have around $22-23 million in cash right now with no debt. The presently have 29,067,000 shares out which equals around $.73-.78/share not including the private placement. I know that Brian Hinchcliffe owns around 2.4 million shares but am not sure what the other insiders own. JDX is actively followed by several newsletter writers including Kaiser, Fagan and Bunka. If JDX comes out with a good game plan you can be sure that these guys will get the word out fast. That's the end of my hyping for the night. Best Regards KEITH
