RE: realistic expectationsNegnex... it's improbable something will go wrong at this point and the penny stock/venture stigma is very miniminzed given that Big Brother IamGold is a partner and owns half of most of the mines and the fact the whole area is already well developed just a few km north. If IamGold wasn't a partner, I would not be invested in Merrex. The politics for that region were already set a few km north and with IamGold's good relationship with Africa. Also, a Long View is no longer required. Everyone on here pretty well agrees absolute worst case Jan/Feb. 2016. That's 8 months MAX, which doesn't meet the definition of Long Trading. More like Position Trading for someone that just bought recenlty or someone judging patience required from here on. Now there were a lot of Longs that bought 2 years ago and waiting. Most of us also agreed on how unexposed to the media this area is. I could be wrong about insiders, it could be due to more exposure to media lately as the price rallies, it's triggering more Top Gainer Lists and catching more eyes. The Fuel will feed the fire the more it trends up. And obviously Insider Trading is illegal... so I agree with WilWal that many presumed insiders probably took the gamble a long time ago in earlier stages. But I find there's always price action even when the slightest inside news leaks within the industry. I don't necessarily mean illegal inside info, but the industry makers have access to info way before the public or rumours at least. Insiders acting on Insider Rumours... where it's still legal.
