Frankly speaking (ggggg) about SUF, Rumors on the street suggest SUF has acquired financing to buy the 54% share of Messina. They wouldn't bother to do that unless the current feasibility study drafts were positive,....would they? Promise #1 for the new "company in transition" SUF may be about to be honored. We could be about to become a "Platinum Producer in waiting". Keep in mind,...this hamster has loaded up his cage previously, and is on life support,...although I can see the critical ward through my eyeball dangling out my butt end. Rants from a Squished Hamster on the weekend posts. I can't believe all the excitement that was had on our thread this past weekend. Tales of intrigue and smear campaigns by evil ex-brokers and bad people. Or perhaps just a bunch of upset shareholders who have seen their assets cut to a small fraction of their original size. It's nice that someone who has just bought in wants to protect their capital, but many of us have hung on from much higher levels, and I think it's our right to bitch a bit. It's nice too, that internet forums exist and are growing in popularity and use. After all, a few years ago, hamsters would sit and be squished and have no one to share our tales of woe with except our local, friendly broker,.......oh boy! As internet forums of communication develop further, it will do much to level a playing field that the brokerages and insiders have had tilted way in their favor for many years. Companies that fail to embrace the new technology, and the new era of enhanced communications will get their butts handed to them, instead of them squishing ours. One hamster's bad experience with a company, and its managers and insiders can now be shared with an increasing number of hamsters. Companies would do well to make internet communication an important part of their business affairs. Making brokers and analysts your main source of communication, will soon if not now, become secondary to the internet in making your shareholders aware of what is happening in your company. It is alright to share your dreams and visions, but you better state the facts, and the impediments to them at the same time, in a way even us idiot hamsters can understand. Sadly, many companies are not embracing the internet, or understanding the power of this communication tool. That will change,...we know what happened to the dinosaurs. One word of advice to all companies,...never think your shareholders have enough information. We are information starved, and the only way to keep us happy, is give us weekly updates. Oh,....the cost they will say. Well SUF ain't the first stock to go into the tank, not because they deserved to, but because shareholders were left to think the worst. And if we are left to our own devices, the natural impulse is to think the worst. Just some rants from a squished hamster. Take no notice. I'm happier than hell the share price rose today,...it was a good start.
