I don't have 100's of other investment companies to compare to, so i'm at a loss there, but I have been in with a few. They had short run ups and I made a few bucks but nothing to write home about. Everything about those companies management was great but their property was ho hum so so, and I just left quietly without a big production. I dont think your gonna have any luck with sli management if you expect them to react the same as any other company you've dealt with before. SLI has been very vague from the very beginning and they seem to stay the course, and I don't think Lori is gonna change her approach to running the company simply because I want to know what she's doing. The biggest difference with sli is that their property seems to be greater than anything I've ever been involved with, However,,,Lori seems to guard it with her life, not letting out much info. Is this good or is this bad!!!!! You decide. Thats the way she is and always has been. It's not like she's pulled some big switcharoo in her style. Maybe a great discovery takes great control. I have no choice but to rely on her judgement as does Murray. If we have some good run ups, I'll grab some comfort money each time and carry on.
