Well yes you do have a big point made with that comment. I do believe investors smart enough to visit and digest the information provided on this forum were on the whole not the ones selling.

I'd hate to guess at the total holdings of active forum members who are long (and have picked up more shares from $5 down) but will anyway 'way in excess of 4 million shares, and anywhere from 100 shares to 250,000 shares held by individuals'. Enough to have an affect on share price but likely in so heavy that they find it hard to add to positions.

However as you point out there are speculative investors who don't understand Noront and were/are in for a fast buck. Panic and Fear have weeded out a lot of these and you have to feel for them even if their actions hurt us all.
