Entrepreneur Big Dave Lenigas has got into a spot of bother before for his activities on twitter. I accept that Mr Lenigas is enthusiastic about his investments but for his own sake he should get off twitter now. Pre-placing tweets about Rare Earth Minerals (REM just look wrong. And then there is the email.

I do have to say Tom, if this guy wasn’t someone you personally liked you would absolutely rip him a new one.
Very disappointing that you cover his wankish ramptastic behavior under the banner of ‘Enthusiasm’.
But we all have our favorite eh?

Any how its only clay ………. the bloody stuff is just about everywhere ………. I dont know why people think its rare . Its the tech to get it out of the clay that is hard to do .

Tom don’t you think the idea of a 7 day blackout could be seen as a bit of an advantage to non twitter trolls?… day 6 no tweets from the company and every body starts to hit the sell button, folk on the forum wondering wtf is going on.. nice idea tho, maybe Leni should just keep his mouth shut and stop leading people down the path of bankruptcy instead?
Personally think CEO’s should be using twitter, it does no good for the long term growth of any company in-fact its quite meaningless unless you believe 100 word tweets from Aim CEO’s, if the people that spend all day chatting Sh*te on twitter spent a bit more time researching and spotting a decent entry they’d probably be a lot better off.
As for David Leni not a fan never have been the only time he has ever done a good job he has got lucky or relied on NR … he’s a salesman and a lying one at that.

Very good article. Selling empty air baloons finally reflected on share price. Might be there is some lithium, but is it commercial? There is no harvesting planned any time soon. I wonder how lond Mr Lenigas will continue writing zeros in his paper value of REM. Investors are fed up with this.
