Was PR a better expense than a trip to Europe? or... ...or a lease on a pickup truck, or attending an investor conference? I don't know. I generally support spreading the story. Companies pay a fee for news releases.
I believe management made a visit or two to Europe. I'm pretty certain they attended several conferences, and I would guess they may lease a vehicle or two that could be used to tour the property with potential investors. If Oceana comes to town, should NUG spend several thousand on dinner? I hardly care. I care that they are good stewards of the treasury.
Most expenses like the 2 for PR firms don't get mentioned in press releases [below], and I expect that is best. Stockholders elect a Board of Directors. They hire and retain managers who use their judgement on how to manage the corporate treasury.
I am neither supporting or opposing the PR expense. I leave it up to management. In the long run, if you get a songbird, and it doesn't sing, you get a different bird. I am happy with our current songbirds. Now sing, damnit! And don't let that fuse burn you.
