Management hiding it's head in the sand?

Would seem like they are on an extended vacation because the stock has been getting hammered since the merger started. Wonder why they aren't more proactive about doing some insider buying or at least having market makers prop up the stock until the shorts finish their attack. That's what most companies that I have watched over the years will try to do when they have had a good run and the shorts attack. Most managers in the mining business know that the markets get pretty violent at times and you have to be prepared to give your stockholders a little confidence in your ability to hold them off and keep the animals in their cages. Given free rein I have seen shorts virtually destroy a small OTC company. Let's hope management will lift their head out of the sand this week and show a little backbone in the markets.
