Just a circuit-breaker thing, Laddy…happens during volatility…the nervous nellies were proven wrong on Brucejack and Nickel Mountain will be no different…
Comment by Jon - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 7:21 am
A single-stock circuit breaker will halt a trading of an equity for five minutes if it experiences a price increase or decrease of 10% with a five-minute period.

Malfunction at the junction! Thx Jon.
Comment by Laddy — October 11, 2017 @ 7:23 am
Any idea if assays will be released this week or next? I’ve tried calling Steve and IR but they must be getting hammered by calls. Jon would you know?
Comment by Steve — October 11, 2017 @ 7:29 am
I’m sure we’ll see something soon, Steve…it’s fair to assume from last Wednesday’s news that there should be an update any day now…
Comment by Jon - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 7:34 am
Jon would you be adding to MTS.v as well here $1.32 on the pull?
Comment by large — October 11, 2017 @ 8:00 am
A double for Doubleview ,DBV in the last week or so..Too late in the season to accomplish anything, IMO!!!
Comment by GregJ. — October 11, 2017 @ 8:26 am
Dbv been doing good lately. Anyone hear anything as to what is going on?
Comment by Sameer — October 11, 2017 @ 9:05 am
Don’t even think of selling your shares. Just sit back and wait. You will not regret it.
Comment by John - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 9:05 am
John, which shares are you referring to? DBV? GGI? or MTS?
Comment by vepper — October 11, 2017 @ 9:09 am
John which stock was that last comment for, DBV, MTS or GGI or all three 🙂
Comment by large — October 11, 2017 @ 9:13 am
Haven’t sold a single share and don’t plan to, thanks John!
Comment by MURF — October 11, 2017 @ 9:19 am
Thanks John for the reassurance…I’ve taken up nail biting and I’m running out of nails!
Comment by Ciara — October 11, 2017 @ 9:30 am
Don’t sell GGI or MTS….good to hold for some time yet. I have not sold a share.
Comment by John - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 10:09 am
Does Jon concur with that advice not to sell a single?
Comment by Ivan — October 11, 2017 @ 10:22 am
Huge volume day for HIT, 2 million shares traded by 10am.
Comment by GregJ. — October 11, 2017 @ 10:22 am
There is absolutely no reason to sell GGI and MTS shares.
1. There is no change in the bullish fundamentals.
2. Today’s chart is actually bullish with today’s candle at the moment a HAMMER. The low of 1.77 actually bounced off the EMA(20).
I think this is a good cleanout for a good move to the upside.
Hang in there and keep smiling….great days ahead.
Comment by John - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 10:27 am
Thanks John – appreciate your confidence!
Comment by Phil — October 11, 2017 @ 10:29 am
Ivan….Jon is out in the field until much later.
Comment by John - BMR — October 11, 2017 @ 11:04 am
Appreciate all the info regarding ggi. Your influence is obviously providing a sense of calm amongst investors. There is no short of investors with a large portfolio weighting in ggi which exposes them to outsized returns or alternatively outsized loses. What makes you soon confident in ggi that you’re telling people to not sell a share?
Comment by Seamus — October 11, 2017 @ 12:33 pm
John, Thanks for all your coverage of GGI. From what you have heard and seen from the GGI camp, how certain (percentage) are you this GGI play in the triangle will become a mine?
