In fairness, people invest in order to create wealth, and one of the number one rules in investing is to not fall in love with a stock.
My questions to you are:
- Why do you love the stock so much, where you will defend poor performance that is measured against almost any metric? (share price, ore reserve increases, production figures, cash and gold reserves... Admittedly and thankfully the lost injury time number is low)
- Why do you feel justified in attacking people for expressing their (somewhat valid) concerns
- What outstanding things have management done in the last 18 months?
- At what point of frustration, and what level of losses, is a person allowed to vent their frustration?
- Given the share price rose to $2.42 and has fallen 30% to $1.66 in the last 2.5 months, and production figures have been negatively impacted for several quarters now, what metrics are you basing your vigorous defence of the company?
- Do you think the triggers for the performance rights of management are ambitious enough?
- Do you believe the directors of the company buy / own enough stock in the company?
- What, if anything, would you like to see changed?
- Take Tropicana out of the picture, and how much money do you think the operations at Duketon would be making, and where would the share price be?
Sure, some things are out of management's control, but there are many things they can do in being more proactive in managing the business and creating both opportunities and value.
I think it is disingenuous to accuse many people posting here of being in RRL for a quick buck, but you can't expect people to be passive investors and watch their hard earned money diminish in value.
Anyways, I am not looking for a fight, I am genuinely curious why you are so bullish...
