Wanderer,

I hold Teck, Cameco, some bank stock, Yamana and a bunch of others. They have all been hit hard and none of them have been through this before. But they will bounce back, in fact they already are. The market always does, it is as sure as death and taxes.

We don't have to feel bad about what LBE has been through. Nortel shareholders are wallpapering their bathrooms with paper they can't trade, GM and Chrysler are being kept on life support by taxpayers, some of the most prestigious financial firms in the world have disappeared. And we have taken a hit only on paper. We are much better off than the many miners across the world that have lost their paychecks.

Liberty still has its most important asset -- what is in the ground -- and we are looking a hell of a lot better now than we were 6 months ago. And so is the Ni price. I am liking our chances now as we head into production while Ni prices head north.

Cheers,

Bluenoser
