via Zerohedge - Silver Bar
If someone offered you a silver bar for $10, perhaps at a liquidation value, you could not turn around and expect to sell that silver bar for $160. The coin shop would offer you the posted buy/sell, and if they knew you bought it for $10, would perhaps offer you far less than that. You'd have to go to many stores before being satisfied that the silver is valued properly.
It's the same with GBN.V shares. They are offered at a discount to assets carried in the liabilities column. The company can't expect to obtain even the liquidation value - nowhere near it. Nobody wants to come near the company because the shares are so cheap, if not ludicrously so.
Investors have to be let in to properly evaluate the company and bid on the shares. You can see what an atrocious mistake it is to believe you have control over the value of the shares, and are leaving this to chance when the odds are entirely stacked against the company.
