For what its worth
I have been around a long, long time. I used to come to these boards and joust with anyone. It's a fool's game so I don't bother anymore. I have so many on ignore, based on their posts, I no longer have any idea what gibberish they are spewing ... and I don't give a dam. It doesn't take long to smell out a poser, liar or thief.
I dabbled in the junior mining business in the 90's up in Timmins and in the Kenora area. Stock was listed on Vancouver and we had a deal with then Echo Bay Mining. The bottom fell out and we mothballed it as we didn't want to spend big bucks on a drilling program due to over burden on the site so we opted out. Apparently that property is now part of a going concern. Huh! I hope they do well. I happen to know some very prominent people in the PM sector in the U.S. and Canada but alas, I am not one of them. I do know how good they are; how experienced, honest and intelligent ... besides being very successful. I have made a lot of mistakes and I have learned from them in spades.
I post here because it happens to be one of my favorite juniors but for a few years now, I have mostly lost interest in this type of forum and spend my time on research. I like to think that there are a lot of honest readers out there that never/seldom post and may not be that familiar with this sector. They must be very confused by all the theatrics! I like to think that my posts are somewhat objective and have some credibility. Reading all the rubbish posters can be very misleading and can cost the innocent by way of wrong decision making. They have many much hidden agendas. Some work for market makers, some for..... ,,,,, , some for themselves as small time traders, (traders seldom win in the long term) some for others ... and most are trying to mislead you, discourage you, scr-w you, bully you, etc. Some are just plain m-sfits with psychological problems. Some are true sociop-ths. Some are many 'personalities' in one and you may ask why/how they are allowed here. Some are paid. Some are out of work small time promoters; some lost their jobs in banking or the brokerage business. Some are desperate. It’s all very depressing and disingenuine.
I will tell you that, in my wildest dreams, I (and most of my successful acquaintances) never, ever thought it would be possible for the US FED and western banking cartel to manipulate and suppress gold/silver for this long. It has been a perfectly diabolical, ingenious and gargantuan effort and a successful crime beyond all expectations. They have almost destroyed most promising small junior miner, explorer, and developers in the precious metals sector. They have intimidated all of the successful players in the precious metals mining sector by way of manipulation and funding spigots. I will also tell you that they are way past their ability to continue much longer. I could write a book on why. 'They' are now desperate and in panic mode. It will be most interesting to see what will trigger their demise. It may be gradual or sudden, but it is now commencing.
So, all you ‘fake news’ posters out there who I have on ignore, you will soon be employed to go all out to pump this sector for all your little bummies are worth. And ladies and gentlemen, that will be the next thing to watch out for. BUT remember this, when this sector gets hot again, even the proverbial ‘Moose pasture’ will make you multiples in the pennies … and that is also in its infancy stages. All you have to know about them is when to get in and when to get out. In the meanwhile, real quality ventures will succeed beyond your beliefs. It’s up to you to find then and that is why you have to have a really solid adviser (very few who now know this sector) …. or do a lot of research.
You are witnessing the kick off to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. It may save your future.
