Man, startmeup. You certainly live your stock trading philosophy, and that's a wonderful thing :-)
Mining, to me, is a fascinating activity. Look at the drama the situation those Chilean miners found themselves in, thousands of feet below the earth and having to remain down there for months until a small-diameter hole could be bored into the ground to yank them out of their little survival space. Amazing :-)
This stock is interesting, I have to say. I basically just followed along with the pack that seemed to migrate over here, and I don't really have any serious skin in this game, yet, but gold's a metal that's only going to keep going up as the dollar is devalued by our Fed, I'd say, and companies that can yank some of that metal out of the ground stand to profit from an actual "gold rush," it would seem to me. That bodes well for the stock, too. Very, very nice!
