presumably he is referring to Cliffs Natural Resources (Cleveland, Ohio) being interested in UC's ROF property.

It is reassurring to hear shareholders thinking about holding for the long term.

It was the rush for a quick profit that led to our downfall when it came to Spider.

We are sitting on something that has substantial value, but not likely tomorrow or next month.

Like you...and I and everyone else following this board, we are just waiting.

There isn't a heck of a lot to say right now; except that Cliffs is out there. Circling.

I did not tender, but I feel like one of the last guests at a party that ended some time ago.

Will tender most of my shares today; but will keep some just in case something big happens (I will also keep buying lottery tickets as a fall back position)

Thanks, this has been a very civilized and informative forum; thanks to the hub leaders and the contributers.

For those of you still invested in the ROF don't sell yourself short...whether it be NOT, FNC, or KWG, this area has tremendous potential...Cliffs wouldn't be here, and the Government wouldn't have focused so much attention (ROF co-ordinator postion has been advertised as noted on the KWG board yesterday) on this area, if it didn't.

I still hold my SPQ shares (its a lonely place right now) and wish all of you holding other ROF shares the best of luck.

The position of ROF coordinator has been posted on the Ontario Jobs website...so hopefully there will be some activity from the political side soon.
