RE:RE:Been waiting a long timeThe Bad: "Shareholder reports generally relate to required reports, new board or an event"
I'd put that on the 'good' list. Production report 10 days after the Q end with relevant commentary, financials mid-month following, and no other reports necessary except board changes, acquisitions, or if something blows up.
HL great swing trade stock, very cyclical, patience required only on a weeks or maybe months scale if you like to trade.

I don't think anyone's 'suppressing' or manipulating anything, and I've been observing certain commentators for decades always claiming we're running out of PM and other commodities, Comex is empty, prices are suppressed, etc etc. Or maybe there are just cycles.
Headlines/cover stories Time/Newsweek/other 45 years ago: We're running out of oil by 1987 ! Peak oil ! 'Journalists' and experts took the published reserves and divided them by annual consumption, assuming companies didn't consider developing reserves as part of their business plan.
Just like the headlines from 1870 - after Pennsylvania, no more oil to be found, it will be all gone. Then it just began (literally) popping up everywhere.
Oh, and in 1860, we were running out of whale oil, so no more lamps will be lit - until they started refining crude into kerosene and lamp oil (which was the main business for crude oil ... until automobiles).
One of my favorite cartoons from the New Yorker decades ago (when it was worth reading) was an old man with a long white beard standing on a street corner with a tin cup and holding a sign: "World Ends Tomorrow!", obviously a lifelong career.
