See, this is a huge problem, especially in our case. By regulators not keeping investors informed IF there is an investigation, IF its ongoing, or closed, they are actually denying and limiting our chances for further protection. If we sit idly by a computer looking for news if anything is being done by them, you might sit here the rest of your life, not knowing whats happening, all the while, the treasury is being depleted and you chance to lose all your investment , in a drastic outcome scenario. So in fact, the regulators reply, entraps the investor, not allowing him ample time to make reasonable investor decisions. On the flip side, should everything be ok with an investment, and the investor didn,t know the out come or status of an investigation, decided to sell his stock because of this, and find out the next day that a company releases news that drives the stock to the moon, he has suffered and was denied a reasonable chance to participate in the reward.

There should be, and must be, a periodic status report released by these regulators in the future on each and every case that may be open, or closed. Its totally unacceptable the current practice by these regulators and their speed in processing an investigation.At least with an investor knowing there is closure on a case, it reassures the investor that there is nothing major wrong, and it alleviates the pressure of selling at a huge loss. It enables the investor to know, that if no wrong doing was found, then his investment must carry a certain degree of security.

The regulators seem to treat investors of the markets as if they are just players in the markets, and that the investor aspect is only an illusion. So, a serious investor, really has no place in the market, yet the term of protection for investors is proudly displayed.

Our case is slightly different than the norm, because numerous red flags have popped up with this stock over the last 2 years. Its plain to see by the least informed investor, that the timely disclosure policy has been breached in more than one occasion, plus the Corporate Goverance Manual, and smaller other particulars, by the management of this company. SLI, the company, has not created these red flags, nor did the shareholders, it is the ones that are managing it that shoulders this responsibility and accountability. And, despite all of this, it still looks like we are sitting on multiple company making gold prospects, especially the Tesoro.

I find it very odd, and I am not incinuating, merely stating a fact, that the regulators have not acted yet on this blatancy. By reading the protocols and regulation that is to be adhered to by issuing companies listed on the exchanges, and seeing what appears to be breach after breach without no reprimand, makes me ask more questions. I believe the regulators themselves should be looked at here with a degree of scrutiny by a higher power. There will be no place for investors left in these markets, and the markets are starting to feel it now, so its most likely on a self destruct course itself, because the money in the markets from investors, is becoming scarcer every day as the players gobble it up, when its gone, the players will cease to exist themselves because of no food.
