I am not an educated trader or stock market Guru by any stretch of the imagination but I've certainly learned a few things about it in the last few years. The biggest thing I've notice is that there is a huge disconnect between the main GOAL or OBJECTIVE that SLI management is working towards as opposed to the goal of a high percentage of investors. SLI has its sights set on a a finished product. Management wants a totally proved up resource property that they can offer to a major mining company with proper resource estimates. The amount of time that it takes and the regularity of the news releases will be a function of how long each of these activities require to complete. If these delays in news releases are creating too much doubt or delaying your profit taking ability then it is obvious that the disconnect is affecting you adversely. Unfortunately for some, I don't thing management is willing to change their plan of attack for the benefit of a few and thus we have some disgruntled shareholders that decide to exit. I wish things could move faster but then I don't know what their up against, therefore I wait. Bushboy told me that SLI is like a poker game !! If you don't like the dealer......You leave !!!!!!!!!!!! I,ve been dealt some fairly good cards so far so I'm gonna play a few more hands.
