Interest in Goldfield is picking up.
In the last ten trading days, 1,160,700 shares have traded and the price is
up 61 percent from $0.46 to $0.74. As far back as I can get price/volume
information, this is the heaviest trading period ever, with the exception
of the disaster in early 2000 when the price fell 67 percent from $1.6875
to $0.5625.
The big question is who are the buyers? Insiders? eRaider supporters?
Investors who like any stock in play?
And how will they vote? Will they hold for the long-term or dump the
stock when the election is over?
I don't know the answers, but at least we seem to be making more
money in stock appreciation from the contested election than the penny a
share the Company is spending to beat us. So even if we lose, we win.

While eRaider has been running nominees for the board of directors, we
have also been talking with John Sottile, both directly and through third
parties. These talks have been constructive, and I think we have reached
general agreement on most major issues. Unfortunately, the one sticking
point remains agreeing on a new board member.
However, we got a letter from John Sottile today stating clearly: ". .
.[Any] of the nominees for director included on the Board of Directors
slate will serve if elected. . .regardless of whether any nominee on
eRaider's slate is elected." The stuff I left out was not so unifying, but it
does not change the sense of the quote.
I have modified our proxy accordingly (the new version will be up on
the site shortly but it takes time to format it). We applaud this clear
declaration. Board nominees are not required to make it, and often
remain silent on the issue. We think this is a poor tactic. Any person
running for any office should be willing to serve unconditionally, and
should be willing to say so clearly.
Whether eRaider wins or loses, it is good to know that all nominees will
serve if elected. That means shareholders have a free choice and that all
candidates have put shareholders' interest above their personal desires to
gain advantage in the election.
