Spiny,
These people are not as scary as you think. They are more open to speaking to individual investors than you think.
Put down some questions that you have on a piece of paper and call investor relations. That is what they are there for. You are an owner in this company and if you are civil and respectful they will treat you with respect and you will be very glad you called . I call all of my major holdings regularily with no problem.Some of them are almost becoming friends.
This is your money! Talk to the real people! You'll be glad you did!
My advice.... prepare your call with what you want to accomplish and ask the questions you want answered. Don't ask.... what is the sp going up to ...or when is the next !! Rico
