"You have to drill through mud and water to get oil; you have to sift through sand and silt to get gold; you have to chop and hack through stone to get diamonds. So why do so many people feel that the treasure of ideas should come to them with little or no effort?"

Since the mining stocks are some of the premier gainers for the Year-To-Date, I would expect them to be presenting some fat targets for shenanigans this week for the stock option expiration.

Have a pleasant evening.
