Have to say, it's amazing what one can say here now compared with back 5 years ago. Then, it was nearly impossible to speak truthfully about how one felt about a company or its mgmt. Mods were generally big shareholders who wouldn't allow much if any negativity w/rt their hopeful moneymaker. If this change is real, it's definitely for the good...makes for more balanced posts.
More from IKN: More on the Richard Fifer arrest
Posted: 26 Feb 2016 04:46 AM PST
According to a reports, this is a win for Interpol as they saw his name come up on the flight from Portugal to Colombia (aren't computers useful?) and, having a Red Alert next to his name, the inter-cops were ready and waiting for him at Bogotás's El Dorado airport. He was promptly arrested and placed under the Interpol "controlled transit" protocol, which basically means he couldn't chekc into that five star hotel he had booked but has to stay as a guest of the police at the airport until he's put on a plane to Panamá. That should be today and when he arrives there, he gets arrested charged and remanded for the charges IKN told you about recently (all that selling property twice thing, gotta love the guy).
Can't believe you're still here, CEMJQ...I sold off the last of my holdings many many months ago and haven't been back since. Just stopped by after a visit to another board. I think you know by now that there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. But kudos to Briscoe and his sidekick for maintaining a paying job for so long...takes brass balls (she simply uses his for a shield) and some skill (?at lying, er, stretching the truth) to continue to convince shareholders to "hold on a little longer."
carlosc...please explain, if you would, where your confidence comes from. Or are you joking. Which "management" are you talking about? Thanks.
Just wondering what ever happened to one of the most arrogant of all times posters on this board (or any other) -- smarter than all the rest, knows all the important people, money out the wazoo, vacations with family in all the best spots paying first class, using his massive PTQ investments for collateral, knows all the stuff we peons could never know, etc etc etc. You all know who I'm talking about...yeah, that pom pous a hole. I sure hope he was piling on as the price dove to nothing, and if there were a way that we shareholders could someone miraculously still hold some value in the value that remains in PTQ's properties while he lost all his...that'd be kinda sweet.
BTW...the last post was from incakolanews

Good news regarding Richard Fifer (petaquilla gold etc)
He was arrested yesterday in Colombia. He should be deported back to Panama today, at which point he'll be charged with fraud.
By the way, this case has the potential to cause First Quantum some embarrassment. Let's see how things develop.
Just wondering where is the poster that wrote the following?--
My apologies...
I wasn´t really responding to you or expecting any response from you...just reacting to the statement by Kim (?et al)...
Take care...
Here´s how I read Kim:
"Since the Company is producing fibers that have never been produced before, and since we still can´t find anyone who wants to put up any significant funds to work with us or buy us out, and since I´ve got a great thing going here with my own lab and (as far as I can tell, a decent income ad infinitum until we´re either bought out or go bankrupt), we've decided that we will expand our ability to ascertain these results. Therefore, we are investing in testing and measurement equipment that will help us to accelerate the testing of our fibers' unique qualities in a more efficient manner. We believe that this will advance our ability to communicate intelligently with our potential commercialization partners, improve the effectiveness in the laboratory, keep investors from dumping entirely yet, and greatly reduce the commercialization timeline for future products that we plan on bringing online, whether they´re commercial successes or not, as they makes me no matter."
Learned my lesson...
...didn't get sucked in this time and unloaded $.0405...
Let's do it again, Briscoe, once we've settled down to true "value" (remember, it's in the eye of the beholder, like "beauty"...but the only eye that counts is the market's)...then hit us with more hot-sounding promotion...I'm finally starting to get the hang of it. Only took me 10 years!! Yeah, I'm slow...but I did also learn to not hang out on this board, but just watch the chart and wait for the next promo.
GLTA
Just thinking about what we could be doing with the $10M that we "didn't need" and gambled away. Hmmmmm...howz about buying back shares at these prices? We could lower our o/s by say 18M shares? That'd be fun to watch for a little while anyway, yes? I (as of course just a lowly retail shareholder) wouldn't have minded that one little bit. But then, whaduiknow?? That's just me.
Sure hope we lighten the load of mgmt salaries now that we are no longer the operator. We certainly (I would think) don't have the bucks to buy up some producing property now...at least not imminently; which means we don't need much of an operational staff, it would seem to me. But, oh well, what's $10M to a <$100M MC company, eh?...oh, that's >10% of its MC? Hmmmmm...
...jus' sayin'
Post #20--Will 2013 be the year that Mahdia and its mgmt get their $$$ h*t together?? Let's all hope so.
Venture listing should hopefully not be too far off now. They need a unified plan of action integrating the new people with the old, BigBoy shareholders with retail, continued local work with fulfilling Canadian listing requirements, et al.
We have a gem of an asset (and other assets of value), but now mgmt needs to get their act together and be a real Team. No more games, no more manipulation by daBoyz to get more cheap shares, no more silent periods, no more delays, no more spending money like we've got a printing press. Just good ole hard work and transparency to the market.
Fingers crossed...things get better from here.

Touché, as they say '-)
Nice gentle response, TOB.
I for one am impressed with your solid analysis and appreciate your continuing to post it here...interesting and useful. Have a good one....jt
Most leaks need fixing...
This one may just require champagne!!

Go LBSR!!
Actually MineAllMine, I'll give you credit for making a relatively reasonable reply to my (totally) tongue-in-cheek post. So I'll give you the respect of a reasonable reply to yours.
Fact is I still hold more shares than probably the large majority of those on this board, but am so totally disgusted with mgmt that it's hard to be positive. Could there be a positive outcome? Sure, anything's possible. But I've been a shareholder here for going on almost 9 years now, and all I've really ever wanted was a real CEO that knew how to get things done right and then just did them (yeah, broken record, but that's juss a fact, ma'am and I don't give a flying fluck what others, esp. permalongs on this board, may think...it's my money/my shares).
I get almost nauseated when I look at LBSR in my brokerage acct, and that's even WITH the disaster that have been most mining stocks over the past years (meaning I'm kinda used to seeing red a lot). So I couldn't much care less WHAT any other mining company has done with their properties in the locations where we have prospects, our mgmt has done as close to squat as I've ever seen or found humanly possible in 25 years of investing in commodity companies.
Anything positive now will be an exceedingly pleasant surprise to me...and I will get out as soon as I can get my money out, adjusted for inflation, which will be a shareprice MUCH higher than my average cost nominally. (I know...that's a BIG hope that may fall thru and I'll have to be satisfied with simply / hopefully breaking even nominally...my secondary goal if the primary can't be reached.)
In the meantime, I'm amused by the fact that it doesn't matter how long between my visits to the board, the posts remain the same, permanently positive or trashing anyone NOT positive, week after month after year, as though lost time isn't lost money. Only in NeverNeverLand....
LBSR...to da moon!!
Picked up more @.85...
Not holding until $30...anyone who thinks we'll reach that price is totally.................., well, I'll leave that to your imagination.
I'll sell whatever I've bought at or below $1.00 if and when we reach $2 or so, maybe $2.25 give or take, depending on the news and the deal, as I'm expecting we'll have resistance from those wanting to dump HDY all the way up this time. And I do expect we'll make a decent deal.
?Short covering?...I'm not counting on it jacking up the price much as covering is SO easy to do anymore with buy stops and algo trading to knock down any rallies that look to get out of control, and I have NO doubt that we peons on these message boards are the LAST to know what's actually going on. So the big boyz / hedgies with their insiders will know ahead of time and get out in a timely fashion. Anyway, that's JMO...jt
otr...I just don't get you.
Of all the public companies in the universe
-that have a fully diluted sharecount >640M with potential to reach >1Billion (sans another r/s, of course)
-that sell for <.022
-that have been around for 10 years or more
-that have put out 121 or more NRs since 2008
-that have done essentially NO known/significant drilling at all since the beginning of 2008 on their very prospective-looking properties
-that drilled and found some interesting dirt prior to 2008
-that are twitter and facebook competent (ie, meeting the highest jr miner standards for communication)
-that have at least 6 moderators on their IHub board
-that have at least 6 words in their name
-that have claims that may contain gold, silver, copper, moly, and uranium, as well as snow AND scorpions
-that appeal to pirates and piranha financing groups alike
-that have a Director that wrote a book about porphyries
-that have a GEO as a CEO
-that have an "L" for the first letter of its first name
I have absolutely NO doubt whatsoever that you will NEVER find another company like LBSR or a better investment (possibly exceeding the returns perhaps of 10-yr US Treasuries [taking inflation into consideration of course], but don't want to be accused of pumping, so consult your financial expert of choice on this)...and I'll back up that statement with ANY amt of money you want.
Great graph to have burned into the mind for ANYone investing or considering investing in junior miners, b/c it includes the time-cost of money. Yes, one could buy early, as in a PP, or right after on the open market as the price gets taken down to the PP level. Not bad. But then if one doesn't sell, or at least take profits and cover the cost at the time of good results, as shown on the graph, one has to hold all the way to production to actually make a profit that takes into consideration the length of time that money was out of the market waiting...ie, inflation and other opportunity costs.
That's a good graph to have on EVERY junior mining share board, just as a reminder.
Sold and am outta here...have no idea what's going on, if anything, or why, or when anyone will hear anything, if ever. In any case, have no desire to have anything to do with these jerks who won't answer the phone or an email, ever....
So ciao...
Wow, Randy!!
Congrats!...and thanks for the update on your life...lol.
Good for you to force yourself away from the computer and these boards, at least relatively speaking...they can be a major time and energy and focus drain, no doubt.
As a matter of fact, I was thinking the same this AM after posting what I said last night. Saw that this board needs a moderator last night, but actually don't want that responsibility and don't really want to hang out here much more than I do (I come a readin' at times, but as you know, mainly post over at IV). And I'm taking it noone else here does either, eh? Wouldn't mind being an assistant with you guys. We'll see.
HDY...yep...it would have been just too d*mn easy for them to have skewered down to TD on first try and come up with a gazillion barrels risked...lol. But that ain't our history, and obviously never will be. HDY shareholders have to get therer the hard way, it's in our blood...oy!! But...we most certainly NEED to get their...ok, maybe not a gazillion...but half that maybe?
'-)
OT--Hey bill and randy...you guys look lonely up there with only two mod assistants and no mod, so I put in to be mod, but I'll give that up to one of you two and be an assistant. Can't remember the other boards I've been assistant how that worked. I think I was asked by the mod to be an assistant and agreed, but being as there is no mod here, just went to the top...lol. The other I'm mod on, noone wanted to be the mod OR assistant, so I took it over to be able to put up some info on the site more easily. I guess I should really remove myself as Mod from that board now as I finally gave up on them and sold the other day. LOL...such is life.

You know, E-E, I've always liked "sayings" in genl, as there's always some wisdom to them to take to heart. And some live their whole lives believing that the "word of wisdom" their Uncle Joe taught them was the be-all and end-all of wisdom for that subject.
But there are always a few with insights beyond the ones we tend to take as "givens" and assume to be the summit of wisdom and successful thinking. There are other levels and angles to consider that most never think about but that are often just as important to consider, if not MORE so, if one is not only to succeed, but to avoid losing. Those who see to the next level are the ones that generally are successful, b/c they not only manage to win, but also avoid losing.
Most know that saying--"The Early Bird gets the worm." But the real pro knows about the other half of that proverb: "The Early Bird gets the worm, but the Early Worm gets eaten!" The more important question is, which one are we?...the Early Bird...or the Early Worm? Being too early sometimes can be worse than being a little late, and missing getting eaten by the Early Bird.
'-)
this bounce
I'd hardly call that a "bounce"...more like momentum driven run-up and sell-off. We didn't even get to the 200ma!!...barely breached the 100ma for a few minutes at the peak, and now are back under the 50ma...all of which, of course, are bassackwards to where they should be were this a company "on the move"....
As I said, the market knows what objective investors have known for a longtime now about LBSR--it's the MONEY. Nothing else matters now. Without the money to prove it up, we've got NOTHING that time and decay won't bury and then be bought up on the cheap by whomever...?NAK maybe.
So many non-objective "investors" here buried their heads in the "NAK/HDI love us and need us and we're part of their megateam forever now" sand...and now that sandbox has been taken away. Now they can bury them up their nether pore and keep hoping, but it STILL won't prevent price from continuing back on down. Only significant MONEY...and VERY SOON...will do that.
Good question...
And one I've been trying to point out it feels like forever...ie, that we most certainly DO NOT have all the time in the world to watch LBSR "mature." Much more likely is that we'd watch it die on the vine without financing NOW...YESTERDAY for drilling.
You're already seeing in the market that decent "speculative" is getting killed, even WITH money in the bank and with (in Canada, for instance) good or even excellent NI43-101 compliant resources. Even producers coming out with less than positive reports are being slammed down. Why would it be easier as this financial disaster progresses to get someone to finance drilling when we're looking at 10s to 100s more $$$millions, or even $$$billions to actually ever put it into production??
And again, WTF happened with NAK???...where are the details? Their standing back says to me that they're waiting for Briscoe to fail...could be something else, but then WHAT?? They already own a piece that will continue to grow larger and larger as our shareprice drops, that is, if we DON'T drill and prove that we have what everyone likes to talk about. And if they aren't going in with us whole hog, why will someone else?
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE...noone cares what we've got in the ground without the money / partner to prove it up, let alone get it out. And we lost an entire year again with NO DRILLING. This needs/needed to get done...ASAP. And if that means a different CEO...JUST DO IT!!!
But I've been screaming that for almost three years now, and Briscoe still likes his big CEO hat, it would appear. All I can say is Liang better be at his best...or luckiest...b/c we need that money NOW...and even then we won't be able to drill now until NEXT Spring...and that's IF we get the money now to be able to plan ahead, to reserve a rig, etc etc etc....
TIME is NOT our friend...no matter how positive some want to wax on this board.
In my opinion, LBSR WILL be much bigger than NAK in the months ahead
SGR...I don't think ANYone of us that has signficant $$$, time, and energy and blood, sweat, and tears invested in LBSR has ANY doubts of the potential of our properties. Can't do much DD without coming to that conclusion, IMO. And now, once again, we have the promise / prospect / carrot out in front of us and the market that we're in some way shape and form preparing once again for--drilling! But the question the market continues to ask and the problem it has with LBSR and Briscoe is always the same:
SHOW ME THE MONEY!!!...and without massive dilution.
We already know that Briscoe is a good geologist. Who would question that? We know that Guilbert is an expert on porphyries...who could question that. But just as good a geologist as he is, Briscoe's proven to be a much less than skillful financier who has made bad (I'd use a much stronger term) decisions concerning both the entities we've dealt with and the terms of the deals. Yeah, i know the line that he "kept us from bankrupcy"...but that doesn't cut it. We're not here just to survive, and it's very hard for me to believe that there weren't better deal-maker CEOs available that could have saved us from some of his disastrous decision-making, if he'd been willing to give up his control of that position.
Maybe that's what he's doing now with Larry as Prez, but what is Larry's expertise in this? So far he's done little to show any. We can certainly HOPE he can get it done, but we've been in this position for a LONG time now. He MUST be successful in finding money / JVP with money for any progress from here...and we're already at a massive number of shares FD.
And how many on this board waxed eloquent and prophetic about NAK/HDI and Briscoe being buddy-buddy hand-in-glove best friends as their rationale for why everything is and was just hunky-dory? Now that relationship is discarded as unimportant with another assumption that Briscoe simply stood up, picked up his ball, and went home, leaving HDI sobbing at the table. Somehow I doubt it.
So...here we are again. WE NEED MONEY!!...not more "potential"...but $25M / .02 = 1.25 Billion shares...and that just won't cut it either.
MONEY, honey...that's what I need. If Briscoe and Liang can't get it done right quick, then BRING SOMEONE ELSE IN WHO CAN before LBSR rots on the vine and gets bought for a $ and a song.
And all the above that isn't fact is JMO...
Appreciate you, s4s...
I, like you, would love to post only about "information of signficance"...still waiting for the most part for that information...feels like squeezing blood out of turnips in the meantime. We make everything "significant" b/c we get so little. Yet much we have received has yet to reveal ANY significance, at least for shareholders. We're obviously all hoping it all DOES eventually have significance, but we are already many many miles deep into "eventually" and still waiting.
Normally I invest equally b/c of mgmt and assets. In this case it was the assets that overwhelmed other considerations...and though I've always respected Briscoe as a geo, bottom line is we've been horribly mismanaged, IMO.
Have a great Thanksgiving, bud...
Blah blah blah
Certainly appreciate your intelligent response...probably the best you can do...we all have our limits....
And glad you recognized yourself in my post as one of the major ole hasses here...bass ackwards of course.
HKipp...I appreciate your measured response.
I think (hope) you understand that I wasn't calling you a liar, or deceiver, or working in anyway to manipulate. I've appreciated information and analysis you have posted, for the record. I was speaking to the tone of this board--over time those longs that post here the most seem to have decided that no matter what, everything that is going on is "good"...and that any comment that points out negatives is bad. This board has become (IMO) completely unbalanced.
I say the overall opinion is that "everything going on is good"...but NO...I guess I should say the opinion is everything is "excellent"...just like in the post I'm responding to! You say the the "PR was excellent news"...even though a little farther on in the note you say it's "not...useless." HK, there's a HUMUNGOUS difference between "excellent" and "not...useless"...!!! Where are the intermediatry descriptors...like "ok"..."better than nothing" (which is how I'd describe it, ie, at least there's SOME news of "something happening"). I could write a PR that was "excellent news"...and it wouldn't look ANYthing like the last PR. What would it look like?--
--it would speak of a drilling program (yeah...we're getting there...it's coming, right...it's been 10 friggin years acomin'!!!, or at least 7 if one wants to discount the initial AZ and AK years of exploration...but always the excuses for that...we're ALWAYS "just about" to do some drilling...NEXT year...after the ZTEM...once the AK legislature makes it ok...once HDI/NAK feels it's ok...oh, whoops, not AK...let's try AZ...for years now after this or after that, always with the NSA backroom intrigue that "must" be involved and is the reason we're not drilling "yet" that becomes the stuff of urban legends on this board, when the fact is noone has any idea if ANYthing of benefit to us as shareholders is going on at all in the "backroom," just as none of us has any idea what if anything Othon accomplished for us or why he left. And truth be told, I would call hearing about drilling "good" news..."excellent" news would be double-or triple-digit meters of hi-grade gold and silver found with VG in several holes, 1-3% uranium over 8-10m in multiple holes, a la Hathor...that would be "excellent" news.)
--it would describe funding by a third party / JVP for a reasonable piece of the action (fact is they DIDN'T put in the PR the fact that we can't even fund ZTEM now!!...that's learned from Tracy obliquely...ie, we're vulnerably underfunded and cannot on our own even proceed with ZTEM...that is NOT good news, esp with nearly a billion shares already FD with a shareprice that just decided to check out the .01 zone again),
--based on the ZTEM results (that coulda shoulda already have been done many months if not years ago, esp. had we not been diluted to hell thru poor financial decisions [praising Briscoe for "surviving," as though that's some pinnacle achievement is naive at best...but I won't say more about that] but still have NOT been done and now all by themselves will require more funding or another partner to take a large piece, ?majority, of the action).
--James Briscoe announces that he will be stepping aside as CEO and will continue on as Chief Geologist and VP of Exploration. Guy Q Miner, who was most recently President and CEO of Successful Mining Co in British Columbia has agreed to take over as CEO and COB and has brot with him from SMC blah blah blah.... And that doesn't mean Briscoe is a liar or deceiver or a jerk or any such thing, from my little interaction with him and that of others, he seems to be pretty straightforward. BUT HE HAS NOT EXECUTED AND HE HAS MADE BONEHEADED DECISIONS AS A CEO THAT SHOULD HAVE LED TO HIS STEPPING DOWN AS CEO A LONG TIME AGO!!
IE, the "good" (maybe at this point I'd even call it "excellent") PR I've been waiting for for years now would be a fairly simple PR, with essential details of timing, funding, location & quantity of drilling, etc., as well as notification of shareholders that we now actually have a team in place that CAN execute the plan. At BEST this NR was more of the same "we're doing something." Anything potentially "excellent" once again has to be extrapolated from what we're told. Nothing excellent about it, IMO.
This board (generalization for the longs that post here most of the time and therefore set the tone for the board and tend to gang up on anyone who doesn't agree with their rosy outlook) has become totally myopic, IMO. It's not like there aren't dozens and even 100's of good, successful jr explorers to compare LBSR to. But again, even that has been twisted on this board to make LBSR out to be the most unique jr explorer in the universe and therefore apparently not subject to critical analysis like all the rest...and by extension, Briscoe is included in that "above it all" exception, yet one can look at what makes a good CEO by looking at other companies, and see that he doesn't fit the bill.
Interestingly, I looked back over the past year and some months of posts...not all, but with an eye to statements by cetain longs still here regarding when we would drill and know results, and many posting now how all's so "good" were posting THEN that they had NO doubt that we'd be drilling by year end 2010, or at the latest by Q1 2011, or by Spring at the latest...some even stating that if we hadn't drilled by then, they'd be thinking of selling, or they'd be pissed, or they'd be worried, or some such thing. And here we are...Fall, nearly Winter, 2011, with no prospects of drilling for at least another 3-4 months (IF we have the funding for it, and IF there aren't OTHER changes in direction, AGAIN, and if, hopefully, we've been able to fund and do ZTEM...if, if, if), and the same posters might as well be transplanting their posts from last year to now. Yet any negativity is jumped all over!! Where's the balance?
And then there's SGR, who out of the blue, giving him the benefit of the doubt that his posts from three weeks ago were sincere, ie, that he truly believed these low prices "are a gift" then and then suddenly wised up (perhaps to invest in another promising stock, don't care, it's his money and his decision) and sold some major chunk of his shares, and it's simply accepted as some normal course event!!!! What??? No analysis of why he said he did it?...it's all "good" without any discussion...b/c he's a "good guy." Well yeah, I agree, he's a good guy. He has been, IMO, fairly even-handed in allowing balanced discussions moreso than just about any other mod, and I appreciated that about him. But his decision should have created some deal of critical discussion...yet NOTHING. What, it's too fragile a topic to discuss?...gotta keep up the veneer of "all's well"...???
So...that's a thumbnail...that's not all...but that's the gist of it...and I'm done. I've paid my dues to speak...I'm invested. Not sure as I think about it why I decided to actually come here and share it all, knowing as I do that there are some / several / many here who will simply trash what I say without the least bit of critical thinking about what I'm saying / what I've said. I guess part of me would love to see the BOD bombarded with requests for a real CEO by all shareholders here (wish we'd all finally done it LAST year after the financial fiasco, but everyone wanted to overlook it b/c of the price rise after the whatever-it-is "dealie" with NAK/HDI). Part of me would like to see more critically balanced discussions about this company. Part of me thinks I'm stupidly wasting my time. Guess we'll see, but I won't bet against number three. GLTY and to us all...jt
Hey, Mars...just saw your question.
No...I don't watch LBSR trading anymore...I've got all the shares I'll ever want, so I don't really care about LII anymore...just about executing SOMEd*mnthing SOMEtime...finally! That happens, I'll be interested again....
Why...what do you notice?
Learn to accept risk or learn not to play. But you know that already.
Yes, I do...so save your condescension for someone who knows less than you. Last I recall, shareholders have a responsibility to not be sheep. Shareholders all take risk but have to depend on mgmt to minimize that risk.
Blame the company, blame the market, blame message board posters but never blame thy self!
Blame goes where blame is due. I've already blamed myself for my part in this (so far) fiasco, but I'm not CEO, so I can't blame myself for lack of execution. That blame goes to the CEO. If it were the market's fault, then LBSR shareprice wouldn't also continue going down on up-market days. And I've never blamed any posters for ANYthing going on with LBSR (but I'm sure you know that and just thot it sounded pretty macho to say it, didn't you...needed that third phrase for effect?).
And it SURELY doesn't mean venting frustration on a penny stock message board
Oh, so now you're also the determiner of what can and can't be posted on message boards?? And you've determined that only positive and pie-in-the-sky rose-colored-glass wearers are proper posters? Glad you don't control message boards, as that's nowhere in the rules I've read. You'll have to start your own board called, "Only Positives All The Time" I guess.
And now it's just a "penny stock," for your argument, unless of course someone else calls it a penny stock, and then THEY are being a basher, I guess? Penny is as penny does. I own some very good pennies with some very good mgmt, who get NO complaints from me. This ain't one of 'em, and it's not from lack of good assets.
psst...Don't forget to be thankful on turkey day for MR. BRISCOE for all he's done for you.
Please...make a list for us...and then show exactly what the benefit of each item has been in terms of shareholder value...which is the ONLY thing any of us will take away from that list. Try taking "potential" to your bank and cashing it. If it doesn't show up in the shareprice, he's done absolutely NOTHING for us...and that's a fact.
I offered an occupy j.b possibility. But no takers.
Missed that one...what's your "occupy j.b. possibility"...??? TIA
Another enlightening post...some people have no clue what "having a spine" means. It sure doesn't mean making populist statements surrounded by your homies. Speaking the unpopular is much closer to my definition. But in person away from pseudosupport would be MUCH more fun and a much truer way to find out who actually has "a spine" and who has only cheap words on a message board.
Just trying to help.
Yeah, right...
Yes, I've talked with both in the past, Tracey more recently, but that was last year...but so what? This isn't about any more TALK...this is about execution...performance...gettin' 'er done!!
I'm sick of all the talk and all the parsing of every crumb we get thrown lookingfor the silver or gold or copper or radioactive lining. There are things that need to be done and should have been done a long time ago...and that's all I want to see now. Time for talk is long past. Briscoe should be gone as CEO...those on the board who actually care about shareholders should have performed that action. They haven't...question is whether they even care. Briscoe should have stepped down...he hasn't. He'll be all right no matter what as good geologists are always in demand during a commodities' bull market.
It's we shareholders / bagholders that are being and will be hurt if they don't execute. We as a group should be sending a message to the BOD that the CEO has failed to execute, as have they in not finding a suitable CEO...one shareholder carries no weight, unless of course s/he holds 10% of the shares or more. Anyone here meet that criterion?...doubt it.
I've been in this stock for over 7 years now and hold over 1.6M shares, Willyboy, so I've paid my dues. How many do you have?
Gloating???...you don't pay much attention do you, or is it just nice to be on the "popular" side of the board and take potshots at those who refuse to wear rose-colored-glasses when they post? I'm PISSED!! Since when is someone who is "gloating" pissed?? Shouldn't I be happy then?...I'm not. And what btw is so productive about YOUR post?
I haven't been posting anything at all. What would I say when the company remains silent and the pps keeps bleeding off?
Well, I was going to let it rest, but since you asked, here are your last four posts from 11/07 and 11/04 (not exactly that long ago, eh?) and I'll rest my case--

Play another stock, then. LBSR is a sure winner. These low prices are a gift, IMO

We may have more time to wait, but, it doesn't matter to me. LBSR will be the a very large money maker in the future.

I feel I can promise everyone that LBSR is still what we thought it was two years ago. If the pps drops more, it's time to buy. Right now I am load up another play and will be putting more money into LBSR down the road to prop this up. LBSR is a huge winner in my book.
In the meantime, the most recent PR is excellent news.
See, HKipp1...this is what I mean. You don't even state "IMO"...you just flat out state that this is excellent news. How do you know?? Do you know why Othon left?? Please tell us all. What did he accomplish so that his leaving signals "job well done" and benefit for LBSR shareholders?? Please let us know since the company in its wisdom tells us jack about what just about ANYone does or has done or has accomplished.
And whatever analysis on that piece of ground is being done won't do us shareholders one bit of good with no money or partner to prove it, and no drilling being done for who knows how long. At best it's neutral at this point. Just another non-event NR. Ask the market!
You DON'T know that it is good news. let alone "excellent" news. But you will be lauded by the board for being "positive" despite the fact that your statement has no objective value at all...it is purely subjective. Nothing wrong with stating your opinion...just state it as such, and not as a fact. So far all of our "excellent" news has gotten us back into the .01 range. Maybe we should hope for some "terrible" news!
...jus' sayin'...
Who's accusing you of pumping and dumping? Not me.
And glad to see you put it out in public about Briscoe, but i'd love to hear SGR for one admit that Briscoe needs to be replaced.
I, too, now, am significantly in the red, and kicking myself...I just thot that our incompetent CEO could at least find SOMEone to partner with to get our shareprice up just a little more than .06 again (greedily was waiting for a double...it would have been a 5-bagger had I not continued to buy into the end of 2010 and raise my average). My mistake.
And howz about NAK and team? To tell you the truth, I wonder about that...I wonder if that was an "out of respect" for Briscoe move on their part, or an "out of dis-respect (for his CEO incapabilities)" move...meaning, they wanted their foot in the door on acct of our properties / assets and are content to wait while Briscoe fully destroys this company financially, allowing them to swallow us whole for a pittance, and then hire him on as one of their geologists...good for them, good for him, kick in the balls for retail shareholders.
...don't blame you one bit for selling, SGR, as I explained in my response to S4S. But I hope you understand that this board was allowed to get WAY out of hand in the "everything's fine" direction, and those of us interpreting the non-happenings as negative and non-productive and costly were allowed to be subtly and even openly dissed.
But what I will call you on, SGR, is your lack of intermediary statements on the board before you did this, unless I missed them. Can't say I've kept up with posts as I haven't...barely read the board anymore, just came here after seeing the latest POS NR...but I don't recall seeing too many posts from you laying out the negatives and disappointments and putting responsibility on Briscoe for them that led you to this decision. If I did miss them, my apologies...please point them out as I'd like to read them.
Best of luck to you anyway...jt
No apologies needed, S4S...and don't worry about it.
It's this BOARD that pissed me off and pisses me off...it lost nearly ALL objecivity a year or so ago and has essentially allowed a purely one-sided, nearly delusional "all's well" (aaarrgghhh) mentality to pervade everything. (And for the record, those who hold free shares are most certainly NOT going to be the most objective or concerned when it comes to failure to execute...they no longer have money on the table.) Any analysis of what has been going on (or rather what has NOT been going on) IN FRONT OF OUR FRIGGIN FACES has been dissed and blown off as some kind of bashing or idiocy or lack of vision or whining or ANYthing but true and useful. It's made this board all but worthless for any kind of objective analysis or insight.
And now we've got SGR selling @.03?? Sheesh...after everthing he's said to the opposite to turn around and do that, and the board STILL doesn't get it. What in the world would make him do that (and even more surprising that the board didn't chew his head off...how come?...I guess if one says enough "positive" stuff to qualify as a perma-long, then s/he can at some point come to his/her senses and recant without being thrown to the LBSR wolves?)?
This SUCKS...pure and simple. And I am pissed at Briscoe for not resigning his position a LONG LONG LONG time ago. He should at least have stepped down, or been ASKED to step down, after his financing fiascos, but few could seem to find one objective neuron to understand that "survival" is NOT the be all / end all of the CEO's calling. "Nuf said...and no reason to hang around here. Sickening.
