I see your point nvl 22. Mostly POG tracks the PPS of Gold Producers and we are not there yet. Once our drills start churning and results starts to come out, then we can expect some level of correlation with the POG.
I too never hold a penny stock this long but in my books, LBSR qualifies for the long term investment. Patience is the key here.
Goldcorp (GG) is a perfect example in my books for holding a penny stock long term. LBSR will be much bigger than GoldCorp when BCSP is proven to the core. I have not even included Tombstone, NPSP and Silver Bell and BH. The potential is mind blowing and I am willing at wait for the next 10 years to cash out at $50/share. AIMHO.
