Producing Mines and "state-of-the-art" Mill
Sometimes I find it frustrating when helpful suggestions are not really listened too. Our company is now stuck with people looking at year end stock loss sales and not even sure where the bottom is of this price.
Although stockhouse blogs have no real value they do provide a sense of shareholders perception of the company and how they feel it is doing.
Continual bashing has not helped us at all. We disliked them bashing on our board and our members totally bashed ISM not once but many times. It does not matter whether it was true or not and they retaliated. Our boards were continuously caught up in this bull and we stopped worrying about stopping it. Whenever a truce was offered we had to have the last word. Shame on us because I think we lost.
Now someone offers a perception of our home page and he is jumped all over about it. We need to take a long hard look at LBE.
I hold shares in this company. I believe in it but we as shareholders have not assisted in the public perception of it. Of course we have had assistance from Fabio, Rocksolid, Whaler etc.
Now, what is Liberty but the shareholders. We had a dream. Gary and his staff have worked very hard to deliver. Like all Jrs we do not have the capital to be an instant larger company. We bought Liberty because we believed in the dream and the goal. We bought in as the price was going up. Now, the economy is not so good. Redstone Mill and mine was brought up on time and to the best of the companys ability. McWatters has been a challenge. The plan was changed to accomodate chasing a falling Ni price. The US dollar has hurt us like every other exporting Canadian company.
Do we sell our shares now or later. That is our choice. Can we look at ourselves and learn - I think we can. I invested knowing I was investing in a junior. What I think we all need to do is looking at our marketing - our public personna. Lets look at all suggestions. Brainstorming has never hurt anything.
