I did buy more, Alaskan.


A paltry 4.5 million shares for $450 plus whatever Scottrade charged me ($8.75?). And yes, in part because of PR's and the attempts by M.Saner to actually do something (drill, mine, take pictures, whatever).

In comparison, my portfolio of mutual funds held in my retirement account lost 43% in 2008, representing tens of thousands of dollars. That is real...
