Running discussion on SP, page-11883

Quick summary (and AIMHO). Boards do get a bit contentious as there is money involved folks but its tame compared to what goes on in the real world when money is at stake. Defamation is a no-no and backed up in law and insulting, rude or inane posts likely to get the attention they deserve with negative reflection on the poster. On the other hand HC intervenes a lot with moderation compared to other boards I use (eg Canadian Stockhouse) - the question is how much intervention is healthy if its not addressing legal compliance issues. For example, who is to really judge what is bating, fair adult humour, pumping, downramping, vamping etc. Surely this is for other posters to judge and use ignore button as appropriate!

Getting down to the subject matter that is AVZ; yes, its a sickening time for us longs watching good investments having to liquidate with this unrelenting pattern of unnatural declines in SP following a stream of positive company news releases indicating a highly valuable one-of-a-kind resource with unbelievable baseline NPV and IRR.

In my book, if there's anything truly unpalatable and IMO unfair, is having to watch this (and its effect on the small investor) and suspecting that its the work of far more powerful forces in pursuit of their own ends. If price manipulation is taking place then its illegal and to be honest the only way to spot it and prove it is to trace all trades with respect to timing, parties, patterns, order book etc. I have level ii and have my own opinions on what is going on.

My advice to the longs, holders and prospective buyers is to DYOR and treat this as a risky, volatile investment. Don't trade and hold what you cant afford to lose or see decrease rapidly in value. With this play, look at the asset size and quality as supported by the official facts from the company as they are released and judge this resource against the anticipated requirement for Li and Sn over the next 10 years or so. I have done this and AIMHO its a long term hold with ongoing accumulation during dips notwithstanding risk mentioned above.

GLTAH, AIMHO
