As longtime readers of this forum and writers to it well know, I’ve repeatedly commented on management’s wretched failure to promote our company to the wider investment advisory population. It doesn’t take much imagination to picture how attentive and sustained promotion, reaching influential investment advisors, cannot fail to bring our share price far closer to the inherent value of our company.

Surely, we’ll get there, later not sooner (to twist a phrase). Ponder this: Even if management is shy or unfocused—even if it has an inferiority complex regarding how it can counter the negative market environment—think of where our share price would’ve been had our guys on top paid even the least modest attention to building an anticipatory following (for all the upbeat company developments coming into play). As it is, any attention we get is fleeting.

We now have Argex working for us.
We now have Champion working for us.
We now have Bold working for us.
We now have Bowmore working for us.

We now even have lowly Gimus working for us.

We hang on to half of Magpie, the most valuable piece of the puzzle.
We hang on to most of Lamêlée.
We hang on to Clinton and Stoke.
We hang on to some possible long shots.

We own the rights to (tested-positive) metallurgical processes (for Titanium).

Way to go!
