Hello Rip Rip and welcome "aboard." A couple of observations in response to your post.

You just bought into the stock a few weeks ago. When doing your due diligence did you rely on bulletin boards to reach a decision? Many comments on these boards end with the admonition to "do your own DD" which indicates that the poster does not want to appear to be giving advice or making recommendations. I would imagine that the Golden Minerals Web site and sources like SEDAR would have given you a lot of the information you needed along with an evaluation of management from other public information.

There are contributors to this board who are capable of analyzing technical information that is released by the company from time to time and those analyses provide a lot of insight into the effect the announced information could have on the company's future financial and production performance.That information falls into the category you describe as "something useful about the management, plans or problems of this particular company.

Few, if any, of the posts here are difficult to identify quickly as information that you might find interesting and/or informative. I recommend to you that you scan the forum from time to time to see whether that is the case. Please get back to us after you have done that for, say, one month, and let us know whether you still find the board less than useful.

And good luck with your investment in AUM. Needless to say, all of us here think you have made a wise purchase and are hopeful that you, along with the rest of us, make a substantial profit.

Cheers!
