RE: Ruby CreekIMHO, Ruby is saving our tail. The Chinese seem to have fallen off the wayside, which as Toby mentioned in his newsletter, could be a good thing. By the looks of things, it seems that IF that license goes through, we can expect Ruby and Douglas to pull something out of the ground in 2010. It would be nice for us longs. If my DLKM weren't worth dirt, I would sell some and get more involved with RBYC. I am impressed with what I am reading about them.
On that same token, if not for Toby, we wouldn't know a darn thing that is going on with Douglas. That may be because as mama said, "if you ain't got nuthin' positive to say, don't say nuthin' at all". If you all (the 4 people that will read this) are not a subscriber to Toby's quarterly newsletter yet, I highly recommend it. He is the only voice for Douglas right now and is a tremendous wealth of knowledge. It is very well written and his approach is as one who is for the people. He is well intentioned.
I wish that I had anything of value to add. At this point we are all waiting with fingers crossed. All that I can do is wish you all well.
