RE:RE:Another year coming to a close....Hey mcugly.....Ray here.....I've been at the last two and plan on being there this year,,,I don't remember you being there though..Believe me everyone there knows me by name,,,,they hate seeing me ,because I call them out every chance I get...I guess,unlike you ,I am not so quick to patt them on the back just yet, not for anything good . Under Boelerts management,,the share price has gone from .16 down to as low as 1 cent...I suggested we buy our own stock at that time, in view of the price,,,use accumulated shares as safety awards or production bonuses for the hourly employees rather than support a bunch of Presidents in the Toronto office. He had no confidence ,so if he doesn't ,,,,who should ??? I've been long on this Company for five years and I believe I am one of the largest individual shareholders...I have all my retirement on the line,so no one, including Boelert, wants him to succeed more than my wife and I.
I started my mining career when I was 17, following in my fathers footsteps, and as well,, much of our familys as well. Mining has been going on in the sudbury basin for more than 120 years,,in fact the orriginal mining was started very close to the Lockerby mine ,at the Victoria,, You don't have to be a rocket scientist to be a success mining nickel in the area,,,,much of what they do is like "PICKIN" UP PAW_PAWS",,,,,and the "monkeys" in Toronto don't add to the PAW_PAW count,,,, Their job is to get the PAW-PAW patch and keep it secured,,,Now any monkey can borrow money from an investment firm,,but it takes leadership, and cost managment,,,not an unlimited bank account,,, to make it work . Now that the price of nickel is on the rise,,,they dont deserve any "ATTA Boys",,,,because they had nothing to do about that, unless they are fighting in The Ukraine,and get the Americans to embargo the Russians,,,,or closed Indonisias boarder ,,,not very likely..sssooooo give credit where credit is do,,,and criticism when it is due as well....As CEO,,,,Boelert's first concerm should be in the stock value and keeping investors interested,,,which drives stock price,,,that's what I am interested in..PERIOD.
At last years meeting,I nominated myself and was seconded,the the board of directors ,,as a free member simply because I am concerned for the "Company" All upper managments salaries should be pegged to performance,,,not to the time clock,,,,we have Scoop operators for that,,,and by the way,,,,the number of vice presidents should never be more than the nimber of Scoop operators......they pay the bills ! Anyway see you at the meeting,,,,I'll be the guy without an Armani suit,,, by the way,,,,,when is it this year ?? They usually don't give much warning, and it is usually after I insist that they get it posted,
