Firstly the "cone of silence" was used by another poster.

"Can anyone speculate as to why the retail investor is not desirable from the BOD perspective?"

Let me put it to you this way.....any shares that retail doesn't have are then had by those that orignally wanted cheap shares but didn't get them....which is why Zen took the verbal thrashing and sell offs to take the sp down....according to many past posts. Now, if Zen is taken to the shed for the next couple of months and some retail let their shares go cheaply on the market, then other hands will gladly be waiting for them and will no doubt be greatful for the opportunity should the market afford them this chance.

I have no idea how far Zens sp will be played but if it danced around a dollar or slightly below in the next couple of months, I wonder how many stops would get hit and how many retail holders would cease to hold. I think the posts demonstrate a lot of frustration and also a sentiment reading which would prove useful to anyone wanting to manipulate. It has been stated on other sites at other times, that it may be wise for folks to go away for a while and not express how close they are to cutting and running or any statement that indicates such a potential state of mind. It's human nature to want to believe everything will be alright and it has it's place, but I wonder how much Ra ra ra on this and many other sites is designed for other motives....just as those who try to take in all sides including the negative are accused of having.
