RE:RE:RE:CircularAmen, Herb! The HD fees always gave me heartburn, but the Curis/Florence purchase was too much to take. From what I could find, looked like an HD bailout. And then having reviewed all of the legal issues surrounding Florence Copper, we simply bought another Gibralter. (Not that Florence Copper COULDN'T be a great project if the legal issues were resolved, but those issues are significant, and carry too much risk).
I've been hoping Ireland would be pounding the table. Best theory is that he sold part of his position to Raging River (RR has never been on the ownership list, so I can't believe Ireland didn't move this position to RR). Interestingly, they are asking for 4 new directors. Add Ireland to the list and they now control the board. That's got to be the end game.
And this is the first time in 20 years that I've learned how much HD owned. I expected/assumed that it was a significant position, so I always felt that they were incentivized to enhance value. To learn that they have 3% is infuriating.
Fingers crossed for us shareholders . . . .
