Let me get this straight. You would like the company to issue an official response to rumours posted on a chat board?? If you want answers, call them. If you don't like the answers you get, sell. I'm sure there are people here who would be willing to pick up your shares.

Sorta, You are a pessimist, and there is nothing wrong with that, just happens to be your disposition. I'm an optimist, and there is nothing wrong with that either, just happens to be my disposition. But, when you say things like the company needs to be upfront, you are totally in the wrong. All businesses have to keep secrets until they are ready to be released and not before. There is such a thing as competition. You don't want the competition to know what you are doing. As an investor you would be screaming mad if the company you invested in gave out company secrets before they were ready to be release. The competition would just eat you alive and you would lose your investment. The audit will take care of all of the accounting questions. Do you still want the company to be upfront???

Sorta: If there is any common ground between you and I it is I like you would like all the answers right now! It isn't gonna happen though. Here I think is where people are getting aggravated with your posts. You state "Maybe it is true" Then go on and post a very negative scenario as if I had not thought of the negative posssibilities as a mindless robot. I had considered the plausibles and the " It would seem that Walter sold into that news etc..." then I picked up the phone and called Walter to hear otherwise from him and Judy. Now can they be lying? Possibly but very doubtful based on thier forthrightness and consistency. In my case it is good enough for me for now, I implore you to do the same to hear how the exploration is being done by private placements and not by the sale of stock. Yes I understand even hearing it from Walter to you may not be good enough for you but sooner or later you have to start believing something from the very person you have placed your money on. If you don't or can't then you are going to have to have more patience then all of us optimists combined, because you will never relax and let things happen in their due course and you will continue to insult people with a common interest and goal in this thing with you.
As far as the Ukraine I bought into this based on the "spectacular opportunities in the Ukraine" also but unlike you based on your tone I have not lost any interest or begun to have doubts in this part of the play at all. I don't believe the focus has shifted any more than is needed to take care of some business matters (the audit,upcoming AGM, and the ultimate financial reporting),and the oppurtunity to do some last minute prospecting in relitivly speaking our own backyard.
When the season starts again I'm sure the aggressivness will start anew. It's winter time man and it is tough to get quality work out of anyone when they are cold, as a matter of fact I have proven it to myself many times over trying to make money in the winter time working outside. You end up making your people miserable of which you still have to pay them for while getting about 1/3 the production you NEED to break even.
As for Dan being satisfied again if there is something I doubt or don't understand then I call. Understand though I have been told by Walter in some things that I have asked,that they are not ready to release that info in some cases, so again there are things that you are going to have to wait on.
As many have said in many ways "nothing is for sure in life except someday we will all be dead and in the mean time we have to pay taxes". So in all due respect please stop acting like we are not thinking of some of the pitfalls and not settling them within ourselves to continue our stake in this play. We are all in this together still and in spite of our differances that's what makes it interesting .
