I'm really liking that oil & gas idea now. Here's my plan: LBSU can get some cheap scrub land in Arizona or New Mexico, then buy a battery powered hand drill from Home Depot. Then they can say "We could be just a drill turn away from striking oil and gas"! Collect the data nearby (count the number of lizards and cacti, etc.) and say "Wow, we sure have the data, now we know where to drill". Change name of company to Liberty Star Oil and Gas, with new ticker symbol LBSO. Do interviews talking about how oil could go to $200/barrel, and LBSO might be sitting on more oil than Exxon itself. Then announce that drilling has commenced! Whoops, then announce that the drill bit just broke, but that could be a sign of a rare geologic formation indicating more oil than the Gawhar field in Saudi Arabia. Then lose interest in oil and gas as the stock sinks.

Next step: Water! Buy scrub land in Nevada, just 100 miles from Las Vegas. Say that LBSO has determined that there could be a huge underground aquifer which might supply the water needs of Las Vegas AND all of the US Southwest through the year 2100. Change the company name to Liberty Star Water and Other Stuff, new symbol of LBSW. Buy used dowsing rod on EBay. Tell folks: "We could be just one dip of the dowsing rod from more fresh water than Lake Superior"!
