I take back that earlier approach, or is this cognitive dissonance?

Upon further reflection, I see no reason why trying to raise money via private subscription (again) would have to have anything to do with securing a partner for Hay Mountain.  On the contrary, I've long said that having a partner would not end the need to raise money for operating expenses and that JB would want to plow ahead with other endeavors for LBSR as soon as possible.  

Could it be that a partnership IS in the offing and that the roadshow will be under conditions resulting in rising share prices, like having announced a partner?   ...probably more likely than the type of dilution than would be seen otherwise.  So maybe this is more a clue about coming good news that what my knee-jerk reaction suggested earlier.  

VP, trying to see what is hidden for now
