Exactly on point!

A good month I had only one slide. A bad month I had several slides, a terrible month I had a bunch of slides.

A company has no influence on the share price all they need to do is deliver the fundamentals.

Having been in a similar position in a Fortune 100 company in Latin America, I can certainly relate! Especially if one is in a line and not staff position, trying to explain to those pencil pushers that it takes two weeks to get a part and not two hours!! Just at crunch time spend 50% of your time with stupid reports!

I too am speculating and have no input from the company. The four
points you make seem to be correct:

1. Something big that will change the character of the company is very close.

2. It would be difficult to jump to January 31st as year end with a 19 month FY 2013.

3. There is a discount by having audits at slack time.

4. Realigning to a standard quarter, especially at half time in the calendar year makes perfect sense for all concerned.

Reading the 'tea leaves'...FY 2013 will look very strong and most little guys will not dig deeper than the P&L. The alignment fits the weather season in Panama and the traditional 'shut down' for maintenance better than a December 31st year end. FY Q3 was always down. Moving just one month to 'line up' with a standard quarter does not require as much approval from various jurisdictions and makes audited results much easier to supply. A thirty day delay is a slam dunk.

I view this as very positive news from every direction.

the reason I bring up the past is because it shows the cavalier attitude management has towards shareholders[only bothering to give us 10 minutes out of a scheduled 30 min CC,not bothering to return phone calls, not informing us we didn't retain the 10% interest in Copper and the copper sulphite overburden after being told we would,and of course the failure to spin out PDI when we were repeatedly told we would-which seems to be the way this company operates-pretty much like all Vancouver Penny Mining stocks]

As one former strong supporter put it when he left''too many questions,not enough answers'' -and THAT is why I am a ''show me,don't tell me'' guy.

ps-Adrian for the current shareholders was the name the stock was before it was PTQ -I go back a long way, to the inception,and in my opinion,not much has changed in the way shareholders are treated,and until I see diferently, thats the way it is
