Here's a CEO I can work with...

Mr. Marc Henderson of Laramide Resources, owner of uranium properties and other resource investments, has been buying his own stock in the public market at the same levels I bought it. In fact, he even took a few well above those levels.

I had noted in NFTRH66 the reason I will not invest with the management of one of my current gold stock holdings, no matter their excuses, and the reasons why I will do so with the management of another. Neither had to do with insider buying or selling of their stock. But there are myriad ways company managements need to be evaluated and well, it sure does not hurt to have them sponsoring their stock as you put your hard earned money on the line. Thanks to subscriber Barbara for the heads up on this.

I am not recommending LAM.to for public consumption now post-breakout because I am a chronic bottom feeder and I am not privy to the reasons why Mr. H is buying. Could just be routine. But I think I may just hold a while here.

Edit (6:50) As a side note of interest, this is the same Marc Henderson who long ago acquired the highly prospective Dolores gold & silver property for Minefinders and fought a blood battle as CEO for Aquiline over their Navidad Silver property (LAM.to currently holds a stake in AQI.to). Otto at IKN has had mixed reviews on Henderson revolving around something of a gruff personality if I recall correctly. But the guy gets the job done. I like people who are soldiers, who attain their goals... especially when they have my money in tow.

Edit (9:41) As if his ears were burning, this from Otto:

1) A good guy, takes shit from nobody or suffer fools gladly. A real died in the wool Canadian minehead. He's also a CFA so he can read a balance sheet (unlike so many of them). 2) Henderson was the head of Aquiline and took out to the sale to PAAS. He earned a hundred thousand brownie points from me when he told a local Argy bizfamily, the Elzstains, who were messing him around on a financing deal, to go fuck themselves (apparently that's exactly what he said). 3) Look at xxxxxxxx xxxxxx. He's chairman there and recently been collecting shares. I hear things about what xxx plans.
