We seem to be range bound! NR's on Coldstream only making minor ripples on price.

To take advantage of gold taking off big time (we hope) I think we need something more solid to show. It would be a pity to be invested in a gold stock on rising gold prices and being stuck in a stock that was not moving upwards!

At the moment very briefly we have the following.

COLDSTREAM. See NR of to-day

Well there seems plenty in the pipeline. The price is holding up but not moving forward. This winter could be crucial for Alto, there are lots of projects, lets hope one at least of these becomes viable for mining or at least we have some positive indications of that possibility

In a share that is lightly traded it is difficult to assess if chart patterns are reliable. However one indicator which shows very positive is the OBV. Steady accumulation? A lot of patience is required on Alto!
