I love the way you think and describe the situation, ref. :) You have captured the spirit of the LBSR investor, I think. It really is a lot like fishing, though I never thought of it that way before. The thing is, once we catch the fish, how big will it be? Will it be a .5 Lb. yellow belly catfish, a 10 Lb. flathead, or a 100 Lb. Blue catfish?
If they ever did have something like an "Investor Participation Day", I would be sorely tempted to take a trip out there even though I'm all the way out in Illinois. I'd love to take a trip out there as it is just to take a look around and learn some things on the ground. Great idea on your part. :)
I suppose it is appropriate that investing in LBSR feels like a modern version of exploring the wild west, given that it is in the desert and mountains of Arizona. To that end your reference of taking potshots at tin cans while waiting seemed right. I can conjure up the western whistle and music from Clint Eastwood's westerns while imagining this scene.
I think that sooner rather than later we will see the heroes win and/or the big fish caught, though that is obviously just my opinion at this point. Here's to a great Western story, tumbleweed and all.
