its not what they would like us to beleive, page-4

hws,

I'm not right up to date on the ASX rules, but companies wanting to comply with the ASX listing rules must have a minimum number of shareholders holding some minimum value of shares. 1,500 shareholders (or thereabouts) rings a bell from my memory (I might be wrong).

I've seen some posts on Hot Copper attracting upwards of 1000 readers. Presumably the readers of these posts are either shareholders of the respective companies or people who may be interested in investing. On this basis posts on Hot Copper could be being read by up to 66% of a company's shareholder base at any one time. From a investor relations, public relations and a marketing perspective, having a stooge on Hot Copper would make plenty of sense, particularly when times are a bit tough and raising money is difficult with a lot of competition in the market for investor funds, whether for capital raisings or to support existing share prices.

You always seem to have an authoritative and plausible answer to everything to quickly put people back in their boxes and your recent disclosure of your knowledge of several historic high profile mining project start-up failures belies your story that GBG is your only investment. Surely if you are so knowledgeable of the risk involved in mine start-ups, you wouldn't have possibly made this your only share market investment. Hence my suspicion of you being a clever GBG public relations stooge. Apologies if you are not but you seem to be doing a very good impersonation of it at the moment IMO.
