Elcaribes - you are being counterproductive to the future performance of Explor by posting these ascerbic messages. As you well know, it is chatrooms like this that affect the performance of companies like AEM and EXSFF over the longer term so we are obligated to post only positive comments on this board at all times. Anything other than positive comments can only be read as a means of manipulating price and as such will not be tolerated.

Of course not.

Agnico is down because of problems with two of their properties, one of which is simply unstable formations that may jeopardize safety. However, to say that there is no downward pressure from shorting, when 25% - 45% of share volumes traded on AEM is short selling, is myopic. AEM is considered to be well managed by industry standards, but 2011 was a bad year for them. Regardless, they are still profitable and just increased their dividend paid to shareholders.

Regarding whether the share price goes lower, I did not claim to know where it was heading, but thanks for your offer.

If I was a newsletter writer, recommending this stock I would really want to get to the bottom of the price manipulation tactics used. I'd be surprised if those newsletter writers would refuse to participate in a call for an investigation into trading preceding the conference call and following the reporting of the initial hole 60 results.

I would be surprised if they would not recognize other symptoms of trading that break the rules. You see if I was a newsletter writer and found out that I was telling people to buy a stock on a perfectly legitimate basis and someone else was manipulating the price, I would be pretty upset.

So yes, depending on how many of us raise a red flag to the OSC and to IIROC (it matters not if we are American or Canadian or European) we need to help ourselves and raise as many red flags as we can.
