I am not the judge nor the jury......But I find it comical that there seems to be a movement afoot to bring a cadre of individuals together into a private set of "exclusive" conversations that require a gatekeeper and a permission based set of accesses.
I would caution those who find themselves in a room with a sage leader at the front controlling a message. You may find that you are being indoctrinated rather than informed. You may be getting a slow fleecing and are having your direction guided by someone else.
Just be careful of false prophets.
I have earned my scars. And my treasure. I have done it here being positive and realistic and at times a cheerleader and showing frustration at other times. Long before many. Long before most. My now driving daughter was in diapers when this began for me.
I am not the most informed about mining. Nor am i a technical analyst. I know enough to know that I don't ever know enough. And I continue to learn from a balanced read of the hype, hysteria, hubris, hearbreak and honest reflection of the data and the press releases and reports.
I have learned because this group has been open and free. You have to know who to ignore. If you are willing to listen to all then you will be a manic-depressive mess. The emotions can run hot. Just like any family, this CRE Bullboard has the potential to get a little rowdy when money, history and feelings get in the way.
You need to be mature, rational, invest within your boundaries, use your head mostly and your heart a little bit. Read a lot. Think about fundamentals. Don't spend your grocery money on short term dreams.
But also be careful of private rooms where you need to be invited in. Sometimes it is because you are being treated as special. Sometimes it is so that the message can be protected from outside ears who will debunk or debate it.
But for now, 3$ is fantastic. FInally.
Bring on more. I am not going anywhere.
