Can anyone speculate as to why the retail investor is not desirable from the BOD perspective? I have heard this kicked around and it seems to be persistant and yet I have never heard an explanation that holds water. The way retail is being treated by IR these days though, it does seem to be the case.

That strategy, if thats what it is, seems to be working to a degree, but only to a degree, as a lot of retail investors have done thier DD and know that the SP is not reflective of a reasonable value.Very low volumes, not a stampede for the door.

We got zippo from PDAC last year, other than anectodal observations and third hand quotes that may or may not be as presented. I personally dont think it will do anything for us, UNLESS, there is a significant announcment prior or bettter, during, and the cone of silence, as you so aptly described it SUM, is lifted.

While I am annoyed at this current state, I do think that when the truth is revealed, that we will all have an AHAH moment and in retrospect agree with thier actions. We shouldnt forget the level of competence that resides in the people on this board.

My opinion anyway.

Good luck to all longs and long sufferers
