RE:Paranoia about losing control??broadbill, I have essentially the same thesis as one possibility for the extended silence, but i might reach a different conclusion. If the sticking point is Management trying to get the best deal for themselves, that is also probably the best deal for me since some of the management has more shares than i do. The downside is the possibility of waiting for DTRC to bring more exposure to the area before Nelson can get the deal he wants. That could be a long wait though.... Resource plays take long sometimes. However, if there is gold in the ground at Standby it's not going anywhere.... This play is in an uncomfortable position, the lack of news is disturbing for all.
