Yes, the new guys now definitely have an incentive to get the price higher now that they own so much stock (mostly GHDC, so far). But so did Pierre all these years, and we know how that worked out. That had always been one major factor that separated SFMI from other penny stocks- PQ put in his own money (for stock), grabbed as much stock as he could for himself and his family, and seemed to keep all of it (though I wonder where all the stock for "consultants" went, and whether PQ had a hand in any of those entities). Whatever, PQ had a real incentive to make SFMI successful not just in order to make money, but even to get his investment back. Unfortunately, that incentive was not enough to overcome his greed, arrogance, incompetence, and need for control, which is why we are where we are now. Let's hope the new people are better at making SFMI a success than he was (they could hardly be worse). They certainly have better mining credentials, so things are looking much better as of now.
