Yes Sir I believe it will also. I held for along while, but decided to use the monies to invest in a runner. Right now I'm waiting to see how it plays out. Hopefully with good returns,I will be back and will load up to the mountain top with this one. But again, its all a gamble, I'm just shaking and roll.

No disrespect intended, but the infamous "Letter of Intent" isn't worth paper it's printed on. They get terminated all the time after a stock gets pumped & dumped. Much rather prefer an iron-clad contract, thanks.

Not going to run.. looks horrible. This company was a pump and dump a few years back and has proven time after time it is wholly incapable of producing on any of it's claims.
