Good Afternoon Folks,

I am not typically a negative person (Unless forced to) and I am in no way, shape or form trying to infer negativity on this great board whatsoever! I believe in what lies beneath PLE holdings but I am more than a little perplexed by the continual holdups.

Many things have happened to some people who are very close to me, some more well-off financially than others and got me thinking about my own life - some well deserved introspection. In the matter of my long position with PLE and some other juniors, I am starting to gather that maybe this investment is not really for me, but more for my growing children to enjoy.

I understand what is happening with this company, as I have for several years now, it's just that I realize even deeper that all of us don't know what tomorrow will bring us, whether it be health, illness, wealth, poverty, happiness or misery.

I am still Long here and will continue to watch PLE and hope that Guy can get this puppy off the ground. I would really like to see more than just some sporadic material samples. I am here for one thing, GOLD...and lots of it! (Of course I like you too!)

Regards to the Longs,
