Hi
@Wombat2It is definitely nice to hear things are on track from people who have been on the ground. I don't know how other people go about deciding what they will buy, but for me the first thing I examine is who is running the company and I ask myself, "do I like them and are they competent". Your post confirms my original assessment.
However, the response to your post does highlight a 'darkside'. The management of PLS has been presenting an honest and open dialogue with SH's all along... but it seems it needs something like your post for people to believe them.
There is something of an epidemic happening at the moment with some really good stocks being beaten down... and as the SP's of those companies go down the level of distrust goes up, reinforcing the sour mood and the tendency to sell or to take a quick profit if it is on offer.
I was only vaguely paying attention a couple of years ago when PLS first got the market's attention... racing quickly from about 30 cents to +$1.30. I didn't buy and missed out completely. Now 2 years later, PLS is a producer, with a state of the art mill, has offtake agreements with the best companies, is lining up to also have a finger in the conversion pie... all while the EV revolution is starting to be a real thing. PLS was $1.30 when it was still just rocks in the ground and now it is 28 cents when it is a functioning business... go figure.
Personally, I have bought here and there in recent months, I participated in the CR, was in the red for most of the time... briefly was in the green and lightened my position a bit... back into the red and bought a little on the way down... but today I was looking at the screen and thought this has to be a buy, and I did so.
There is something weird going on with the market at the moment.... the index is near all time highs, but the more speculative stocks are getting hammered. But it is the speculative stocks where the long term gains are going to be made [if you pick well]... the large caps are 'priced to perfection' and mostly are low growth [or non growth] propositions.
