The only time I had any luck (and it was a fluke) was a gold company that Davnet used to get into the market via the shell, DVT, made me a lot of money, as I got out before they disappeared up their clacker. But in that instance the miner was looking like it could do OK on its own. and what was intended was all up front unlike this episode.
This mob have just consolidated which further increased SH losses and this Cygnet mob are keeping quiet re the type of company to fill the shell, why, I feel they want as many SH as possible out of the way first. In other words stuff the current holders.
