Ann: Notice of General Meeting, page-11

You are a holder of another stock I have IXR. Similarly, I would like to have tripled my money and sold out and bought back in at today's prices. Many stocks in my portfolio, particularly small cap, have a similar trend. It's not just Cyprium and most forums have holders with the same gripes about management causing the decline. Whether it's missed timelines regarding finance, DFS or drill results, etc these things happen across the board and accentuate the grim economic sentiment.
In hindsight, I would love to have averaged 6c instead of 12c but I'm still confident that I will see returns with my investment in the long run. Yes there is plenty of risk but I feel the risk reward is worth it if you hold on long enough. Time will tell if holders do indeed have less than half a brain as you suggest.
