A) I hope this thing will get sold by summer. I really need to have a discussion with the mgmt based on the size of my bet. I wouldnt be surprised if this drags out til fall and theen who knows what the sentiment on the POG will be. Its in our best interest to get this govt agreement now while gold is riding high.

I made a big bet on it and now have about $400,000 shares. I was hoping to originally double my money when I first got in. I continue to add to my position but its really quite speculative with the govt.

I have a big arbitrage on BCE right now and if things go well on that in the very near term I was planning to by another 40,000 shares of ARU.

I'm gonna feel like an ass if the govt turn out to be real jerks here because its still possible that Correa and Co. could screw us and none of us should be completely shocked if that occurs.
