If the message behind the RS is to "protect" the stock from those who choose to do what they wish with it using the stock market to their advantage, does that imply that this stock does not have the inherent potential to survive on its own? I would have thought that the "potential" of the Ring Of Fire alone would have been sufficient to sustain it's viability until the drilling program and/or news came out. There could be many valid reasons to do a reverse split, however, I though the upside potential here was so great that it alone would not allow this action to even cross managements minds. What is really behind this consolidation? What is the real agenda? The RS only establishes doubts in my mind which I do not enjoy having at all. I am going to the AGM on the 19th and I sure hope that the hard questions are going to be asked and answered.
