Some of the themes I have picked up from previous posts and reading through company announcements are that
. There is an experienced management team at ATN who are methodical in their approach and have set up a plan of exploration which looks balanced and thorough.
. Management have made a major investment of experience, funds and time into this project.
. The geology sounds promising.
. They will release results when they can analyse their meaning good or bad.
. There has been a fair amount of speculative buying on the hope that the drill results will be massive.
. There is a lot of self doubt about jumping on at a higher price than currently in the hope of a quick turn around in assay results.
I am going through the same feelings of doubt, but we all have choices, to jump or stay. I like the stock but have not fallen in love. I respect the management and look forward to an informed measured release of the results, much like an expectant father, I hope for a healthy child but secretly want an heir who makes Tiger Woods look like an amateur.
