What Hinse and the Board likely think - ... he/they assembled the assets, the funds needed to add them to the asset base, plus the plan, geologists/mine managers to exploit them. Their investment is huge compared to ours.
As an outside shareholder our only contribution has been to buy stock that was available for sale in the market. We made our investments on the basis of the assessments each normally tracks through beforehand and then made the decision to take on the risk associated with being an owner of ABI.
There are many with higher stature in the ownership chain to which Mon. Hinse feels responsible.
What he hears from them carries much more weight than what he hears from most contributors to this board. He likely feels it a waste of time to read our comments.
He and they will do what they feel best serves their interests - not ours.
This is not about reverse splits, stock buybacks, better PR - though that would be welcome.
We took the risk - either live with it or move on.
My sense is that ABI is at a critical moment.
Best of luck to all who have rolled the dice here.
