Just a short note, Elizabeth. I've always enjoyed reading your posts but think you may be a little off on this one. You refer to all the promotion at Nuinsco. I don't think that is an accurate assessment. They are one junior that does virtually no promotion. The road show people are referring to, was to bring their CEO, their Chief Geologist, etc, plus the drill core and related information to the convention centre at the Toronto Stock Exchange. They gave about a 15 minute presentation after which it was open season for questions from the floor. There was some humor but some of the questions were tough. It was a chance to get answers face to face from the people putting their reputations on the line. I wish to hell other companies would act in a similar fashion. In an earlier post, you mentioned the age of the CEO as 90 and requiring a nap. I didn't ask his age and wouldn't but I very much doubt if he's over 75. Regardless, he carried the entire session to a standing room only crowd and I can assure you, he was effective. If he does have a nap, so what? I do too if I'm not caught. This play is full of risks. Everyone there was aware of that. The potential, however, is also very real. The cynical crowd knew that if anyone would give it a fair and honest shot, it would be Doug Hume and Nuinsco. Currently they have a really good sniff of something. The play makes sense. I'm in for a bit and don't think I'll try the usual hijinks of trading around. That's always subject to change without notice or bonus, of course. Whatever you do, good luck with this one. Enjoyed lurking on an arguement you had with someone on the ARP thread... specific gravity, etc. Give em hell. Bob
