msg.....

That is a very good point. With every company there comes a time when the founders must relinquish some control to a qualified business person. I have seen this many, many times over the years and it is amongst the hardest things for individual founders to do. Successful companies make the appropriate hires, those who don't most likely fail or stagnate.

Larry, et al. are obviously great oil men, but they most likely lack the professional skills of someone trained in business management. That trained person must also have the skills needed to understand how a company must act when they are publicly traded.

This is no knock on anyone at ALRY, simply a truth, that not everyone has every skill needed to successfully grow a company.....especially when that company has chosen to be publicly traded. At some point, ALRY will no longer be able to operate successfully with just 3 or 4 people on staff. At that point, Larry or someone will have to start splitting time in the field, securing leases, etc to devoting more time to manage the office and the administrative end of the business.

With a goal of uplisting, perhaps now is the time to start searching for that someone?

I thought it was me that doesn't read well. I have always said they are up and coming. I have said they didn't try to impress me while I was there. I was the one that said there office was very humble. You have been here a long time so I don't understand your motives? You keep saying someone is selling into news and it doesn't make sense that the Co. would be trying to keep the price down. Maybe, its someone like You so you can run the price down on low volume and then one day come in and buy a bunch one day at basement prices. But you wouldn't do that would you? Works both ways doesn't it?
Quit making your back door accusations.

I agree. It doesn't take much to hire a temp worker to do data entry. It's done all over the place. Plus it's soooooooooo cheap.
