Perhaps MarkM has a long memory or something.

The fact is that the saga of Las Cristinas is now in its second decade, a long and winding road since the days of Bobby Miller.

So far, there is not much gold to show for it, so one can understand why skeptics abound.

Perhaps the long and tortured history of KRY is what adds to the potential here. The skeptics who short the stock will pay dearly to cover their obligations should the permits get done. So far I think a big plus on this speculation is the transparency of the data and the promotion. I run for cover when I see a promotion or a deal that is available only in Canada and not for customers in the USA due to filing requirements that would be too revealing for the promoter or otherwise stop it in its tracks.. Not the case here so far. Thank you, Bill, for your pro bono work.

Still wondering if the cloud around gold has a silver lining.

As one who also believes in trading what's in front of me... I can't let a break in trend in Gold over ride the action in Silver and the XAU... for now.

I agree with the fundamental back drop Bill and UBS suggest. When the market is turning against Gold, Silver and the XAU I will let some stops limit my exposure. For now I'm seeing Silver in the Rocky Mountain Skies. Heading out to spend the day with some grass eaters- good luck to all.

I also agree that a stock like KRY is a high risk bet... a gamble. It's not something to bet the ranch on, but aren't we all gamblers?

long various miners (yes, KRY is 1 of the 7) the SLV and the GLD. I have been and am o/w silver vs. gold due to those charts we all study.

ps- Bill, could I get a copy of those research reports as well?

Markets are starting to reverse a little here. Both the SPY and NYSE comp have fallen back into the opening range. Will have to see if the afternoon buy programs can save the day.

Volume on gold looks weak, oil looks to be going down.
I hate to say it...but it looks like Naz will rally here.
I fear a correction in PMs here.

"Holy Cristinas! MarkM. Get with the program. It's not that difficult to figure out."

I must be too dumb. I'll call my University and ask for a refund on that J.D.

Whie I'm waiting to hear back from them I'll look for signs KRY is going to pop. How will I know? I'll hear JC singing its praises again on his show after a little bird whispers in his ear. Just like last time. Should go to the moon. Or maybe the promoters will think it's best not to go to the well too often. Try another tack maybe.

Maybe I'm missing it. Maybe I'm getting tired folks. Tired of manipulations, interventions, faulty and fraudulent statistics, short-sighted policy and on and on and on and on. Tired of this market for sure.

I think I need a rest. Think maybe I'll mosey on. I'll grab an easy chair and just watch. The fireworks don't start for awhile anyway. And like I said before, there's real money to be made elsewhere. Good luck and good trading everyone.

MarkM, your comments are always welcome here. These markets have everybody on edge.

What's not to like about this market? Gen'l Motors (GM) is on the uptrend; Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) just split its stock 2:1; Dell Computers (DELL) appear to be absorbing some bad news; Cisco Systems (CSCO) might be on a suckers' rally; and Microsoft (MSFT) is being...well... Microsoft. Great two days for the short term traders (everyone, even speculators deserve a good day(s) once in a while).

MarkM, Differing opinions are what keeps life interesting.....as Alan said, your comments are always welcome!
