Crux be wrong about NFG?...... It's ' analysis' of NFG being only one arrow in its quiver of Short Attack tactics, and, thus, entirely specious?.....Whatever, the shareholders here have suffered a big drop in value of their NFG shares....thus, the damage has already been done. But, the long term play of events still appear to be that NFG will discover and prove up SIGNIFICANT increases ( only time will tell the extent of the increases in value, and such increases in proven value may well be huge) in value. ....Thus, the conclusion, for me at least, is just to sit on your shares and wait...... I dont have the time to be a full time investor, to try to figure out what the next tech breakthrough will be, to try to figure out what market sector will perform the best, to try to filter thousands upon thousands of stocks.....for me, I came about on my instincts, the same strategy Crescat describes in their videos....i.e. their KEY strategy is to invest in well-positioned gold exploration stocks, which they believe to be hugely undervalued, and which have the potential for many fold moves, just as happened in the late 1970s.....my view is that the gold exploration stocks are simple, in that they don't have to have the next innovative widget.....they don't need to even have a sales force, because they aren't selling any product, per se, they will just, in the future, produce gold, which is instantly marketable......simple, you find substantial gold, you create substantial value. It doesn't matter if the world goes into a recession, depression, or stagflation, or even prospers.....if you prove up significant reserves minable at reasonable coats, you win......there are few other imponderables.......with everything else, there are 'ponderables', and many of them.......in fact, we are in a very 'ponderable' situation worldwide........Maybe, Confucius could have said, ' May you NOT live in 'ponderable' times......bottom line, there are a HeII of a lot of ponderables, regarding investing. But, with a high quality gold exploration outfit that appears to have quite substantial Gold in the Ground, there are only a few ponderables, and being in a good mining jurisdiction eliminates a number of them.......so sitting on a good asset during ponderable times seems to be a good, common sense strategy......My view of such a top ranked gold exploration outfit, such as Crescat looks for, is that they are BOTH a growth investment AND a Value investment....Growth, because if they do prove up substantial reserves, the growth in value can be substantial to massive......Value, because gold appears to be significantly undervalued as a monetary store of value (compare gold to all the sickly fiat currencies with their attached governments BURRIED in DEBT.....gold has NO such burden), and it is an accepted fact that the price of gold has been suppressed by governments, probably mainly the US govt, for many years, even decades.....and, gold exploration stocks, and producers, also appear to be the cheapest they have been in many decades.....so, you have the two key investment goals ( normally mutually exclusive) wrapped into one investment..... Growth ( and quite possibly, massive growth) and Value........this is quite the investment opportunity......the Big Picture question is WHEN will the investment community wake up to this fact regarding top quality gold exploration stocks?......But, the investment communityis right now, busy, chasing the $ USD as a safe haven investment, never mind the US DEBT BOMB is at 130% debt compared to GDP........the same percentage as all the other paragon of virtue economies, such as Greece, Turkey, Italy, Spain, etc......Bottom line, NFG ( or other top notch gold explorers) have the gold or don't have the gold.....over time, there really are NO other 'ponderables'........for all other investments, there are a lot of 'ponderables'.

After all, even if a stock has made a good run on great results, there is the fact that there is a long time period before good drill results, and when that translates into formal resource studies, and longer still for mines to be developed. Thus, the Short Attack has time on its side, and the easy trading manipulation tactics against the share price has long time frames to be used. ANd the shorters can always launch a basher attack against a stock..... Yes, we seem to be seeing a change in the trading action of NFG shares.....what might be the reasons?...... overdone downside pricing action for gold?..... or ditto in spades for gold stocks?..... is there indeed a buyout offer being created for NFG, as one poster stated, citing very reliable sources, said to be happening in a few months?..... or are the shorts, whether it be Crux, someone Cruz is working for, or someone else entirely ( the basherfest indicates that Crux is deeply involved, in my opinion) ...covering?...... or, is a buyout party accumulating shares?..... or, are gold exploration stocks signaling a comeback, and, as NFG is tops in thus field of mostly penny stocks, such an obvious leader regarding quality as an organization, and with presumed top notch potential re gold ore resourced, is acting better, first.?....... That was truly strange closing action on Friday, moving up around 10 cents in a nano second, and then somebody posted there had been a cross of shares amounting to 175 000 shares at $5.10......So, who bought that?
