I am quite ashamed to admit I invested (gambled and lost) most of my life savings (about $70,000) from a 33-year career in the military, after I read many of Alex's eloquently written company reports/newsletters touting his special lithium extraction technology as a game changer and market advantage, but...the only advantage was my money to his company (and to him, I suppose). Well, somebody got rich and it wasn't me. I guess it's true what they told me in the Army..."You'll never get rich, you son of a bitch, you're in the Army now".
