Short Term Trading Weekend Lounge: 7 -9 Apr, page-113

you need to ask the questions you want answered !.....but, if your nervous, or dont want to be a "knob"....have them written down in front of you.....think about your call before you do it......it can be tremendously stressfull, but, you need to be genuine, and, importantly, be aware, and make sure the director knows your aware....that.......he needs to be careful what he says. He aint going to tell you a secret, so, you really need to speak as though your interests are aligned with everyone else, and, are you putting out a vibe that you are serious about the company.......most directors are smart enough to work out who is "fishing", and who is a real "partner " in the company, only when those interests align, will you get on well.
in particular, i would say the best directors i have chatted to would be Gary Fietz (NAE) and Geof Fethers (RLC), as examples............both guys are approachable, honest, and happy to talk, if your the real deal............they're not dummies !
all in all, if your going to call a director, do your research, and have notes handy, as to cash, debt, big holders etc.............be armed with info (which any holder should), so you are ready, should the convo get sidetracked......its a daunting thing, but do it a few times, and you soon work out were you money should be
