You are so right skunk...

I spend my time working with companies on business strategy, strategic planning, project development, funding scenarios...the timescales are always changing...it is the way things are.

"That's business". No, that's a lack of execution after being in business for 8 years. MBB founded the company in 2002. Don't you think he's had an adequate amount of time to at least produce one source of revenue, aside from a joint venture during this time? These unmet timelines cause doubt, when investors have doubt they sell, when they sell the PPS drops. How can you say that this is just business, when promises are essentially made, but results never seem to get delivered? Anyway, you have your opinion, I have mine, that's why I got out. I may buy back in at some point, but MBB has to deliver on other projects before I do. I do wish you and everyone else the best of luck though.

I would have to disagree with you here. A more accurate statement would read, "that's typical pink-sheet/OTC business, he's not unique here".

Having a track record of missing timelines is generally considered bad business. Now, please do not misunderstand what I am trying to convey here. Timelines will come and go. Some goals will be met. Some will sink like the Titanic. Other timelines will drag on for what seems like forever. It is the communication aspect that is of utmost value here. Communicating to your shareholders is key. And it doesn't need to be everytime a timeline is compromised. But if a few months pass by, it is not asking too much , being that we have placed our faith & hard earned money into this company, to expect our CEO to let us know what is going on.

I own my own business. I am not public but the same ideology applies concerning my customers. My customers invest money in my services. If I cannot provide them with those services in the time that I have designated, on a consistent basis, I will most likely lose these customers.

In relation to publicly traded companies, we all realize that timelines are commonly not satisfied. That is understandable. Pinks to companies on the Dow. Micro to large cap. Business as usual.

But it also stands true that there are not many companies across the board that have mastered the art of communication. When to issue an update, when to hold back. Exactly what to share and the best time to share that new info. Executing good news so it appears to be the greatest news one has heard in the history of the company. And how to execute damage control with sheer finesse. Even multi-million dollar PR firms routinely miss this mark. To this, it is of no surprise that Mike has missed this mark also.

Pinks tend to be of 2 extremes in regards to communicating to their shareholders. Either too much, which tend to be pump & dumps, more often than not, or too little, which tend to be scam, fly-by-night companies who have closed up shop & will move on to the next group of suckazzz under a new ticker.

Mike, Laidlaw, is obviously neither of these. He just has to find that happy medium. In his defense, he is not a million-dollar company with hundreds, or thousands of employees on the payroll. He does not have a PR firm to craft the finest press releases. Nor does he have all the free time in the world, as he lays in his villa on the Mediterranean. He is most likely overwhelmed with tasks & the responsibility of steering this company to future success. Preparing for the upcoming meetings in the next week, in regards to Berlin. Trying to close on the 2 plants in Mass. And trying to push forward the project in Illinois. I am confident that he is hard at work and has the best interests of his shareholders in mind.

This pink-sheet company is a real company people. It is not a pump & dump, nor is it a scam company selling snake oil. You can follow the progress of their Berlin project on the NHSEC site. A project, that, when it is approved, will have major implications, somewhat inadvertently, on the state of New Hampshire. They have major political backing & support. A JV with a reputable alternative energy company. Financing. The start of a power purchase agreement. Berlin will happen and the days of squabbling over trip zeros, or double zeros, will be a thing of the past.

I also own millions of shares and am currently seeing nothing but red, like many here, with LLEG. And it has hurt to see the price dwindle from .0070 to what I thought would be stable .0030's. Now we could be on the verge of seeing triple zeros if this downward trend continues. Take heed though, remain patient. I have the utmost faith in Laidlaw and their vision. I have never met Mike but he appears to be a stand-up guy. I believe he will fulfill the goals that he has laid out, even if it is not on the timeline that he has provided. He is not going to sell his shareholders down the river. I believe we will reap a harvest here fellow shareholders. GLTA
