Dear King:

You sure seem a bit paranoid - so let me put your mind at ease like Cubby44 did.

My name is Douglas. I am a 44 year male. I returned from living in Asia for 7 years and have settled down in Chicago, where I own two Asian Furniture and Art Galleries. My wife and I just had our first baby a few weeks ago and I can tell you that it has totally changed my life and perspective.

I have dabbled on and off for a few years trying to learn the technical side of playing the stock market. I am still not very good at it. Which brought me to the Investors Hub - to try and learn more from people better at it then me.

I have no expertise in Diamonds or Mining, but realize that many of you do - so I read. I have not participated on the board, because I have nothing of real value to contribute, except that I like reading what you all have to say and as I mentioned earlier - I really hope that NSDM is successful for all of us.

Up until 4 or 5 weeks ago, I didn't even know "pumpers and bashers" existed, and I got real caught up in it all last Monday and Tuesday, as I am sure many others who stay silent, but read along with me did.

If you don't want new people to participate or share in the anticipation of it all, perhaps a private type of board would be better for some. I have watched some real characters rear their heads on this board. I have also seen a lot of foolishness, but you find fault with me for simply introducing myself and trying to learn?

Relax, I come in peace.....
Doug
