ASX Today, page-4904

I suspect your views on 'balance' entail having a chip on each shoulder. It is also endearing to observe your concern for unsuspecting 'mums and pups'. However, what you fail to realise is that most of the so called 'up rampers' here are actually long term investors. We intend to be here till the end of the exploration journey and to the point where management provides a negotiated exit strategy at what is hoped to be many, many, many multiples of todays SP. So any 'mums and pups' seduced to buy by the optimism often rampant here, is potentially (and IMHO, likely) to make many multiples irrespective what price they have bought in at over the last 12 months. Of course, nothing is guaranteed in this neck of the capital markets, but any 'mum and pup' flourishing their hard earned should know that....or else deserve to be parted with their capital.

By the way, balance means objectivity in assessing the pro's and cons and substantiation behind arguments proferred. It does not mean equality in number of pro and con opinions. It is also a reality of human nature that we expect a higher burden of substantiation from those that differ to our view points than those that concur. Any visiting 'mums and pups' that are unaware of this should immediately close their brokerage accounts.

IMO.
