My apologies Downside, my world went crazy about two days after my last post. Wife needed emergency surgery - she's fine - so completely forgot about responding. First of all, def not a day trader. Have held AND and most of my 40 resource plays for close to a year and a half now.

I'm in for the long haul and the big money. I'm a strong believer that we are only in the second (wall of worry) stage of a commodities boom the likes of which haven't been seen before. The 70's boom occured when 3% of the worlds population industrialised (Jap, Korea and Tiawan). This time about 30% of the worlds population is industrialising. Also a firm believer that, for a number of reasons, gold is going to the moon. Seeing as you own AND I'm guessing you must be a little bullish yourself. Well if your bwondering when the next leg up might be, you might find this very interesting

Thanks for your first post. I was in no danger of selling, they still have far to many strike zones untested. I picked up AND at 32c and fully expect it to hit $5.00 over the next half decade. I was just looking for some kind of explanation as to why there were so few buy orders, after a period in which there was good solid interest - just hadn't seen things dry up like that.

Anyway sorry for not getting back to you and thanks for your response, it did help.

All the best
