Anonamoose, there was never a reason for anyone to sell, including investment firms. The deliberate takedown of the stock 3 months prior to any drill results being released, involved much shuffling of shares, in and out, of off shore accounts. Huge short positions were taken up by those that knew the plan, of which was; to hit the stock, throw out phony results, save the properties for the big greed, and make investors appear as ill informed, so that the properties could be taken off the radar. The RCMP openly stated, yes, they say market manipulation, but, then they said, it happens all the time. The problem with the RCMP statement is, that market manipulation is fraud and is criminal, and the RCMP did nothing.
So, for anyone playing the market, manipulate it all you wish, to your benefit, for there is nothing any authority can ever do to you. What happened with SLI is a basis and justifies that auhority has no power and that they entrap the public interest by believing there is law, this further succumbs the public to be continuously pillaged.
And, why pay taxes to a government that does not protect you and condones of a constant pillage?
