Hi @Foglefar

Thank you for replying, I was unsure if anyone would.

Just going through your post and have a few questions and responses of my own.

You said: "Joe is merely a hired gun and is being paid to attack ORE. Plenty of evidence for that."

• Why would anyone hire Joe and pay for him to attack ORE?
• What evidence is there to support that claim?
• Is anything that he has said incorrect? (noting that others in this forum have credited he has been right each time.)

You said: "Unprecedented shorting on ORE has been largely responsible for the extent of the dramatic drop in SP not so much as a result of ORE management."

You are right. There is evidence to support that shorting is taking place on this stock and evidenced by the details in recent announcements presented by UBS indicating that they are taking part in borrow. However there has been a recent announcement made by management reducing production guidance from where they had previously represented it was at 17,500 and what I understand is that it is a result of a spreadsheet error. - Bad news like that does attract the vultures.
But:

• Am I wrong in saying that the company had indicated it was now at name plate and then within months advise that they are scaling back?
• How can you say that none of it has anything to do with the management?
• If it isn't managements fault that the vultures are hanging around, whose fault is it?

You said: "That ORE has not 'discredited', as you coined the phrase, the lithium sector or Argentine lithium operations. This is absurd and you are the only one doing any discrediting, and without much substance. To imagine that the entire sector is somehow tied to ORE is laughable."

Unfortunately investors have looked at the delays and errors of Orocobre and have tied those failings to that of Galaxy Resources possible fate.

Whilst SQM, ALB & FMC have got it right the new entry ORE hasn't achieved what it set out to do. I also understand it is part of the reason that Galaxy is planning to slowly prove that Sal De Vida will work in order to bring some confidence that the shortcomings of one wont be that of the other.

I just shared one article in my previous post and here is another Is the Lithium Boom Over?

It is appreciated you assisting me to challenge my view. - I look forward to hearing other perspectives.
