RE: RE: I have "nearly" had enough No, I never did receive an answer. Communication from both companies deteriorated to nothing after Toby Hansen left Ruby Creek and has never been a strong point for Handeni. This is a lesson I have learned that all should take stock (pun intended) in: Just because you have set a goal for any investment, due-diligence should NEVER stop. Observe, revise, and modify your position(s) to suit YOUR overall investment strategy. Any company can make their stock sound good and bolster statements with little facts here and there.
Whether or not these companies found gold, precious stones, or a big steaming pile of prehistoric fertilizer is something we as investors may never actually know. The companies reponsibility ended with reporting where and why they would potentially dig in any spot, and how much they spend (overall) to do that. They are under no obligation to report their actual findings to us.
For myself, I will continue to watch these companies and may consider them to be a short at some point in the future if they ever get their respective acts together. But for now, I am focusing on other industries and will be for the foreseeable future.
Again, as always, these statements are IMHO, DYODD, Not investment advice, and most importantly...M-O-U-S-EEEEEE.....
