Yet, with Diggers & Dealers out of the way, sellers outweigh buyers again.
And the price starts slipping.

I think AM did some excellent things for G1A, but to my way of thinking the Board and management have consistently rewarded themselves too highly for where the company sat in it's lifecycle.
They have also not got much in the way of actual successful transitions from explorer to producer behind them.
I believe that the investment community looks for these kind of historic performance metrics in determining whether to fully get behind a company like Galena.
Management have their fingers in other pies - so how are these companies performing? (KWR shares more than one director, Ironbark Zinc had Jonathon Downes, there will be others that posters know about). From my reading of the performance of these other companies, not so great, apart from making sure they get their personal rewards up front.

In the fullness of time, providing that project execution is as forecast - then the price must re-rate to reflect project economics - but in the 18 months before production I believe the share price will in larger part reflect how the investment community views management.

In short, I don't think we will be getting any free ride from the investment community - they are waiting to see.

Happy to read contrary viewpoints, as I am ready to acknowledge that I'm a bit jaundiced, so maybe not reading correctly.
