brummell:to hype or not to hypeI wasn't around when the stock was crazy. I didn't get here until June. My read is that we have seen a bit of boiler-room style hype on here in the past. Could be it was just people trying to "pump and dump".
I viewed the trip to Europe as an attempt to spread the story..I sold into that. We were getting quite a bit of buzz on the board then too....The timing of the trip was arguably ill considered, immediately prior to a marginal suite of results.
Buzz on the board equals sellers, because people buzz when they want to sell.
I haven't really noticed bashing on here except lately, the guy last week who was talking about a dead winter, you look at his previous posts, going back to the Spring, he was hyping, sold high, and now he's bashing, to buy low. Smart guy, will probably take all of the stock out from under us at $0.38!!That guy was a buzzing buyer!!!
I don't view Vic's comments as bashing, he always struck me as long, possibly with other agendas, but he just likes to get in people's faces and then guage their reactions. That's his style.
I do believe that of the 12-15 regular posters on here, that 2 or 3 or probably wolves in sheep clothing. That's what makes things interesting.
As an aside, with Amplats on board, I think the "stock" suffers because Canadian mining execs are not in, and have no need to look at the situation or be in. I also think that the jr. mines are having their weaknesses exposed in this environment, and that it is crushing all of the stocks. Those weaknesses are, poorly financed, lack of grass-roots initiatives, weak gold price and in the case of over half the industry, they are a bunch of lazy, good for nothing promoters and stock jockeys that have been overspending hyped up flow-through dollars on recycled ideas for way too long!
We have energetic management, a world class partner, and hole 36, which I think is huge. People will look back and wonder how they missed this with that kind of info in the market.
roll call continued....Charles? Goldgal? Hitek? Shooter? Ticker? Harry? John? Scott? Everybody?
