RE: last minute of play I was watching the trading yesterday at the close, as well. From what I can tell (and this is a guess), someone is using the small float to pick up additional shares at lower prices by hitting bids and downticking. IR needs fuel to keep the market interested, but management has stated (even in its news about Chala) that it is expecting to issue news shortly. This is a wait and see market, and some investors may be concerned that news will not be good. ie poor drill results, or a failure to receive construction permits or that gold is no longer a precious metal. :) In the end, these daily fluctuations don't matter, but I even have to remind myself to not be concerned about operations and company as a whole and step back when I see the little market games going on. I am sure we'll have positive news in the next while. GLTA and very long DNG
