No - he is actually a casino dealer now living in the Phoenix area.
You mentioned first getting into LBSR around Christmas 2010. I also first bought around Christmas 2010 - Michael turned me on to it. Someone in the Tucson area had mentioned it to him and he had bought into it. It was a nickel - they told him it would be a dime in three months. I bought (I think) 10,000 shares.
If I remember right, it was around $0.04 by March. But I was impressed, mostly by Briscoe's knowledge and enthusiasm. I kept buying bits and pieces - eventually owned about 1%, but then sat out when they went to 6B shares.
Anyway - thought you might have been the source - maybe your source was also Michael's source.
