Definition of “Sample”
Q. Hi Peter,
It's always a treat to get PYR news releases on a Thursday.
Congratulations to you and the team for continuing to hit milestone after milestone!
So I'm very curious:
What do you consider to be a "sample" when it comes to metal powders?
Can you kindly provide a bit of "colour" to this?
Best,
FuturePredictor
A. Dear FuturePredictor,
Glad to see you post again.
Sample size? Bigger than a bread box? Lol…but seriously, it is not tons…but that is not where the news is. The news is in the dollars and time spent in processing the sample...and what THAT implies…
Hope that Helps,
Peter
Q. The NR also doesnt mention if the samples were paid for. I'd like to know that.
A . Dear DHOD,
Hi there…good to see you post again.
Fact is some do and some don’t.
But as I said previously …that is not where the news is. The news is in the dollars and time spent in processing the sample...and what THAT implies…
Hope that Helps,
Peter
Share borrowing offers
Q. Hello all, I was contacted by my brokerage about 2 weeks prior to the short report publication offering to pay me 4% intrest to be able to loan my shares. I was intreagued and gave it alot of consideration, thinking why not take the 4% payment on shares that I am long on and have no intention to sell? I never signed the papers and never alowed my (signifigant holdings) of shares to be borrowed. when the short report droped I was content in my decision to not have given them the shares to play with. Curious if any one else had similar offers. Generally it is my understanding that depending on your broker if you have a NON MARGIN account the brokerage needs your permession to lend your shares, If you use margin you don't have such control, all brokerages have different policies, you may want to look into your situation. PYR is a great company and investment IMO, there have definently been some bumps in the road, but what a great ride it been. When in doubt look at a long term chart of Amazon, Tesla, Apple, Thats what we have to look forward to, and currently enjoy.
A. Dear Greenmountainman,
Hi again.
Good move...
They use it to short, sometimes predatory like...and damage a stock...
Me? I cannot be bought for 4%...glad you cannot as well.
Can you imagine what would happen if everyone changed their account to non-margin...if you all do it at the same time you will start a panic with shorts that will have to cover.
Hope that Helps
Peter
