Hi, Colin @16.43

Almost everyone will agree with you that one should not become emotionally attached to one particular company. But when I invest in a company, it's not because I wish to make money, it's because I wish it well in its future endeavours. Aristotle said that happiness is a by-product of other activities; and the same is true of profit. One should not aim at it directly, but indirectly.

It's a very good presentation. He and we have been through a rocky first six months, but by this time next year, we'll be adoring him, as we did Gervaise.

Hi, Prof

I think Shakespeare may have meant that Romeo was sad and melancholy, rather than overweight. But you knew this already.

Words change their meaning over time; and should therefore be added to my list of things that are transient.

Hi, Professor @19.25

Thanks for correcting me on this. As a former English teacher, I feel ashamed and abashed. And "Macbeth" is one of my favourite plays, too.

Hi, Prof @19.11

Prince Charles supposedly speaks to flowers, and therefore might be interested in the second part of your sentence. I prefer people myself.

Hi, Roller @8.36

I agree with you on this. I was very surprised to learn that Australia had such a low vaccination rate; they got the border policy right, and I assumed everything else would follow in the same direction. Anyhow, Nicole is obviously a key-worker, and should be given vaccination immediately.

Hi, Jack @17.30

Carry on posting. I always enjoy reading them. Of course, from a certain standpoint, everything is transitory: empires, governments, businesses, and ourselves. Even buildings have been known to fall.

Hi, Seingred @17.28

Thanks for the link, which makes interesting reading. I don't blame the local population for objecting to the mine; I would do the same, if I lived there.

Hi, haddock @14.58

On sentence 2 of para 1, absolutely yes. Last year, GGP rose from 2p to 36p, not because it had an income, but because lots of people realised that it was going to have an income in 2023. Long ago, I was taught that the market looks six months ahead; but with these junior miners, it's capable of looking further forward. Then the Lassonde curve kicks in, as everyone realises the difficulties and the expense of building a mine.

Hi, Dr @ Fri 20.40

And another ditto.

Hi, chicken @9.01

Ditto.

It'll be interesting to see how low it goes. Probably some support at 17, because that was where the last fund raise was. But then I thought that two months ago, and it went down to 14. The thing to remember is that there are different kinds of falling; falling on bad news is not the same as falling after good news (as we are). It'll come back up, because of the grades.

Hi, TMT @ 14.58

You'll never forgive me for this; but religion's been around a long time, too.

Hi, 2020 @14.33

I agree, the sooner we get mining, the better.

Hi, Jersey

I like the picture, but surely it's more appropriate to Newcrest walking away from Havieron in the 1990's.

Here's David Lin interviewing a cheerful old man, Mark Skousen, on inflation. My favourite moment is about 10 minutes in, when Lin asks, "And what are young people buying now?" "They're buying technology stocks." "And what are you buying?" "I'm buying technology stocks, too." It's very funny.

When a man of his age predicts a return to the 1970's, one always thinks that's because he wishes to be young again. But I don't blame him for that.

Hi, Jacal @17.17

Yes, I fear you're right in the last sentence. But "sourcery," as a new word, meaning mistaken use of sources, deserves a place in the dictionary.

Hi, code @16.36

I'm not sure about "sourcery." Is it a neologism, or do you mean "sorcery?"

Hi, Dr @15.58

You are right about the general malaise afflicting junior miners. And if I didn't believe in the long-term prospects of OMI, I wouldn't be invested here.

Hi, Freddie @15.48

I liked your comment about chow mein. It made me laugh a lot.
