My thoughts as well and it has been painful.  That said however When i see the shortfall in the supply side of Copper "I" am highly encouraged to press on with LBSR.  Having been with LBSR since 2004 chasing their DREAM and "I" must say that JB is a GREAT DREAM chasser that is what the "BIG CHUNK" is/was, that is what Hay Mountain "IS" so i plan to be hear for the duration.  When i look at Bisbee in AZ and at the AZ mining co. and of the recent very high class projects dotted all around """"JB"/"HM"""", well it compels me to join hands with "JB" and chase his DREAM alongside of.  The rpt below hints very strongly in the likelyhood that "somebody" is lurking for a JV or a buyout of HM?  IMO!
