If you're wondering why Verena Minerals (VML.v) has jumped today...

...it's because it got pumped by Lawrence Roulston in a "special update" to subscribers last night.

Seriously, WTF is this? Some kind of guru's ego trip? If a large distribution gold tipster points his finger in a special one-off reco on a tiny lil $18m mkt cap explorer (well, $24m now) on the 'news' that it will publish a preliminary economic assessment 'in the next few weeks' the only thing that can possibly result from it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. What's the story, Larry? You got out of bed yesterday aching for a bit of attention? Decided to flex the ego-muscle a bit? Why a 'special report' on a tiny little explorer now, and why not in your regular letter?

So far 325k shares traded in the first 20 minutes of play.
