Portee, my well-rippled old friend,

All of this and much, much more. My Spanish Princessa has been lighting her candles at the local Cathederal in hopes of agumenting my prancing and dancing. It may just be that we have finally approached the end of all of this self-flagellation in the care and feeding of jounior mining stocks. Apparently there has been some short covering of late. Now if people will stop redeeming their hedge fund shares prompting the hedge heads to unload or stocks we may see something other than a big fat CNR train creating the light at the end of this dark, dark Freudian style tunnel. I still have 10000 shares of the new and not much improved reincarnation of Kodiak.

Mazeltov and Shalom

Funny , Portee, Rico does not sound like a very Jewish name. Nor does Portee for that matter.
