Most CEO's that i have crossed paths with have commented that shareholders are really just a nuisance in the day to day running of the company. Once the hard capital has been raised and exploration initiatives begin, the subsequent retail activities around a smaller cap company with no operational income justs bleeds time and money away from what the company is focused on and as such, the retail shareholders can only watch and wait. Company insiders are in an optimum position to manipulate the stock price through their own integrated investement activities so advice from shareholders is totally ignored.
If you look at the volume and price spikes attached to share values even well before drill holes results are released, it is obvious to see that company insiders and institutional investors are always ahead of the game while the retail crowd gets the shock treatment.
It has been suggested recently that drill hole results should be segregated from the company and institutional investors to avoid unfair advanced knowlege of results by redirecting the assays to a central holding and clearing facility which then subsequently disseminates the results evenly across the investment world through some form of publicly available circulation. Its the only way we all get a fair opportunity to exist on a level playing field.
For the time being, ZincCorp can be viewed as the only Hugh's company deemed to represent holding a land position of high priority for new investors.
