Why should they buy back shares when better options exist to grow the company? They took back the 3 million offer and bought 4.3 million in new equiptment to increase production and make money. That's just good business IMO.

Lambert Less lethal(LLLI .125)had news yesterday of developing a new version of Bond's best selling derringer. I assume a less lethal version. Bond Arms has quite a dealer network. Could prove meaningful for LLLI down the road.

I luved mine but they ain't luvin back. Ever feel like puttin them all in a sack and droppin them in the river?
Was diggin in my back yard once where early settlers buried their trash, found some neat things but when I dug up a rusted out revolutionary flintlock and raced over to my local antigue dealer, what he told me I can't seem to forget.
He said, "Throw it away, you'll never miss it."

Anyone playing LFWK? now SLJB? Unreal PR yesterday? Stock doubled but brokers not showing new symbol in portolio yet and bidwackers are totally frustrated.
Smoke
LLLI, Lambert Less Lethal gets ATF permit for USA. Maybe they will finally get going. Ought to be a market for this stuff here in the USA, but the rest of the world seems pleased with the other REAL lethal stuff.
Smoke
Ref MVSI, I had 1754 shares show up, must be a spin off. Does act like it wants to go.
Smoke
MVSI? Where did this one come from? My forgotten past errors maybe but itsa going up.

Somebody is getting killed on this squeeze in Paiv. I scalped it yesterday and thought i was smart. Made a bundle on ALY this AM though.
Smoke
ADVC, I think the MM's a loaded up on this one big. I sold some at .007 plus on last run , tried to double up today at .0013 but no fills. 4.8 mllion mkt cap and 7 plus mil in rev then add on these possible acquistions and it looks fundamentally cheap... but wtfdik.
Smoke
So this is what could a/should of happened for us last year. Maybe the SEC will get it after watch PAIV soar.

HP Pavillion Laptop, Gave up after 11months on HP customer service? and took it to a local repair shop.... reinstalled windows XP and replaced the 256K DrAM.. WHICH WAS THE WHOLE PROBLEM...THEY SHIPPED IT THAT WAY FROM CHINA. Had to be no other explanation.
Working great now but not tried wireless mode yet.
Smoke
REF :fcx, Hope you hung in there. I'm out for now.
Smoke
RANT: HP ze2000 Pavillion purchased almost 12 months ago. Continually crashed ruinning on wireless mode. Crashed so many times it can barely open on safe mode. Won't run system restore anymore, can't open anything in safe mode.
Did I lose the recovery disks? I though so but i've never lost any before. Then I read on their websites. Some were shipped without recovery discs... like maybe mine? You can order them from the parts department.
Parts department says, no you have to call another number, we don't have the discs.
I can't believe a $800 computed from a big company can be so much trouble... It has run less than a whole week since I've owned it.
DON"T BUY ONE. Don't even think about it!

Mt Blanc, Whatever happened to old WOOD?

Coy the one safe way to always be right is to negative. There is just a hell of a lot more bad news than good and you can always spin good news as bad. But everyone remember us when we are right and making money.
You've been right alot so you got some bookmarks, I got 2. One is my brother; don't know the other guy.

From Kitco article 2/26

Many analysts think that, with the bull market still pretty much intact, the next gold rush may be in Russia, host to resources second in the world only to South Africa, yet which last year fell to sixth among gold-producing countries, behind Peru, according to a Reuters story.
The story quoted Tim McCutcheon, senior analyst at Aton Capital, as saying that “Russia is a cost-competitive place to mine gold,” because the average cash cost for producing an ounce of gold is $220, compared with an average for the rest of the world of $256.
However, “You only get free cheese in a mousetrap,” Thys Terblanche, Head of Standard Bank's Mining and Metals Advisory, told an industry conference this week. “The region is still very bureaucratic. Acute understanding and patience are going to be required.”
Part of the problem is that royalties required to be paid by miners to the government, at 6% of every ounce sold, are three to five times higher than in other parts of the world. That doesn’t sit well with such foreign investors as Clive Johnson, CEO of Bema Gold, which is partnering with western banks to get some development done.
“Let's pay taxes on profit,” Johnson says as he works to change the situation. “Let's not potentially destroy projects with such a big hit on revenue. . . You'll get more mines built in Russia—more tax dollars paid, more jobs created—if the royalties are reduced.”

Worth checking out:
Norilsk Buys $80M Stake in Russian Gold Mine from Celtic Resources
Created: 05.02.2006
MosNews
Celtic Resources has conceded defeat in a long-running battle for control of the potentially lucrative Nezhdaninskoye gold mine in Russia’s Far East, the Financial Times reported.
The Aim-listed group bought a 50 per cent stake in the South Verkhoyansk Mining Company, which owns Nezhdaninskoye, in 1997.
In 2000, Celtic Resources pledged a 30 per cent stake in SVMC to Zenit Bank of Russia as security for a loan.
Celtic Resources said it repaid the loan in full in 2002 but was told by Zenit that the shares had been transferred to a company in the Cayman Islands, then to the British Virgin Islands.
The identity of the owner of these companies remains a mystery.
Another blow came last September, when Alrosa, the Russian diamond group, sold its 50 per cent stake in SVMC to Polyus, the gold division of Norilsk Nickel of Russia, rather than Celtic Resources, as agreed.
Celtic Resources said yesterday that it would sell its remaining 20 per cent stake in SVMC to the Interros Group, Norilsk’s controlling shareholder, for $80m (?45.4m) plus a $10m loan repayment. The group said it had spent a total of $30m on the Nezhdaninskoye project so far.
Celtic Resources has also agreed to drop several court cases relating to the disputed 30 per cent stake in SVMC and to Alrosa’s deal with Polyus.
Kevin Foo, chairman of Celtic Resources, said he was pleased with the price as the group now had a sizeable acquisition war-chest. “We think we could have won (the court cases) but there was no guarantee and the company would have been in limbo for another 18 to 24 months. It has been sucking the energy out of us.”
Concern about Nezhdaninskoye had also been hurting Celtic’s shares. From more than 400p in the first half of 2005, they slipped below 190p late last year. Yesterday, they fell 5p to 230p.
Oxus Gold has also faced problems in the former Soviet Union. It lost its license to develop the Jerooy gold project in Kyrgyzstan after the government said Oxus had not fulfilled its investment promises.
