I disagree: IF you give a free bbq, they will come. Just look at the 2009 'Shareholder get together/bbq' held by Goldspring. It was free and I'm guessing 75 people minumum. Was a great event btw and very informative. This Meeting was about 40 people, nothing was gratius (food/drink/accomadations), and mostly serious investors with several? headgefund managers?/mutual fund managers? amongst them. More than likely most of the people you see in the picture are pro mining and just attending a community get together bbq. Storey County is 24000 people and pro mining. Given that the economy and tourist economy(life blood for VC) ain't coming back for atleast several years LODE is going to be vital for the local cities. Making a decision on a small group of people's oppostion to this mine(Starter Pit is on private land and likely 5-yr. life) isn't logical. Now stepping away(with a profit) at the $4.50pps/20 out of 30 days trigger I can see. Don Phillips asked about this and Corrado felt a crash in pps wouldn't occur. As serious as this guy is I'd put my money on him. Bob
