There is much skulldugary in the world of Investment, and the Jr Explorers have their fair share in very good proportion. It's part of the game. Like it or otherwise!
Sad as it may sound even those who are upstanding need to be well aware of it. Thus many actively attempt counter measures. Thus often more skulldugary type stuff. Strategy for ultimate GOOD in protecting ones life's work, etc.. Makes even the best of everyone look less than honest at times.
If not aware and active in protecting one's interests, one is very often considered STUPID. Thus, too often needing to protecting one's interests from the out and out underhanded and those even worst than underhanded.
Judgment(s)? Who is right and who is wrong???
Ethics is different! Though part of the same Extended Family.
For All of the Share Holders in this Company, we have to determine for ourselves if we each have made personally suitable investment in this Company. And we have to hold ourselves accountable to our own decision on that.
Others may influence, but as has been stated many times before, You Have To Live With Yourself. No one else has to.
And with that, do you think you/we have True Value in Owning this Company?
What does the evidence you have tell you?
