The diamond and specialty minerals stocks box score for Wednesday was a positive 65-57-141. The TSX Venture Exchange gained five points to 789 while polished diamond prices inched higher. Jean-Raymond Boulle's Diamond Fields International Ltd. (DFI) gained one cent to 21 cents on 23,000 shares. The stock has been doing well in the wake of the 1:5 rollback it completed late last month. There has been no news to support the recent enthusiasm.
Eric Friedland and Tom Peregoodoff's Peregrine Diamonds Ltd.
