"I've heard hundreds of stories from shareholders of various junior mining companies about how they feel that management doesn't give a damn about them and the companies are being run strictly for the benefit of management. It's true. Most juniors are run to generate a paycheck for a bunch of clowns who would otherwise be on unemployment. When you consider buying shares in a company, pull up a three year chart and compare it to Press Releases announcing the granting of yet more stock options to management. It's a rigged game, rigged for the benefit of the insiders who hold the reins."
