They are not so dumb as to say they are shipping when they aren't. Things just take a little time. The first ones shipped just happened to go to non hot copper people. No need for jitters over this, totally not an issue.

Re price drop - no big deal. Many expected it. Nothing goes up in a straight line. As the news ebbs and flows so too will the sp. overall it is up very nicely over the last few months. It might go below 10c - so what? Unless you bought for a trade you are unlikely to want to sell at this point just when things are getting exciting.

Thanks to the many posters who do research and share it and to those who offer analysis, much appreciated.
