...So I noted yesterday that one of the companies that I hold (Garibaldi Resources) had inexplicably started an SP rise yesterday at about the same time as Argex Mining, and hypothesized that perhaps this was due to SPROTT increasing it's large position in both of these companies. In fact Argex released yesterday: "Argex is not aware of any corporate development or undisclosed material information that would account for this trading activity ". Similarly, Garibaldi did not have any news releases yesterday nor today (thus far). However, the National Inflation Organization (http://inflation.us/) did release news yesterday regarding Garibaldi's SP rise (and it appears that the news release did come out after the SP rise rather than precede it). Today, Garibaldi's SP continues to appreciate. Garibaldi has paid the NIA to promote its company. It does seem to be a very effective promoter.Another company that I hold (Canadian Zinc) also utilized NIA this past summer, and saw an immediate SP rise with no substantial retracement over the following months (which may in fact be coincidental and due to the seasonal metals strengths).However, it seems to me that the NIA followers are more likely investors rather than flippers/day-traders. I think that our IR department might want to look into utilizing the NIA , specifically if they intend on doing any more PPs in the near future (ie. to raise the SP prior). As an aside, SPROTT also holds a large position in Canadian Zinc. Any utility in sending this note to our IR department?
