I think a lack of froth and bubble is a good thing... it builds...

I think a lack of froth and bubble is a good thing... it builds credibility and gives a sense of surety that the company has integrity. If their focus is on the core of their business, and the business is a good one, then in the end it share price and company worth will line up together. Thats why we are all in CGM.

On the other hand, regular announcements that are not grouped together could be called "core business" as the appreciation of the share price should be of benefit to the company and all shareholders?

UNLESS... they are trying to fly under the radar and avoid a take-over for a lot longer? And that suits me fine.

I hold and am very comfortable doing so :)
