pennypinscher, if this were yahoo i would "recommend" your message.
i came in today and saw 45 posts, thinking we must have a PR for sure. instead it's quite a few more about the group email idea. quite honestly, what we need is news. i also think the idea of a FAQ on the website is great, but that would of course require a website.
i suggest we wait until tomorrow. after all, according to the last "report" i read from an investor who spoke with GP, "wednesday or later" was the revised date, given the large list of snags management had hit with organizing the filings. i see nothing wrong with giving it a little more time and taking GP at his last word.
overall, i'm concerned because the group email may end up muddying the waters, and setting up what is a very unconventional workaround for a situation that should have never come to pass in the first place. i would be very upset if the "email to shareholders on ihub" displaces regular PR releases. we ought to get our news the way barrick gold shareholders do, via the existing PR channels! if this company is legit we will know one way or the other, with or without a group email going to the CEO. after all, the SEC does have the final word on the conduct of management and its fiduciary responsibility to shareholders.
