Mate , regardless of how many you bought I do feel for those with whatever balance who have lost. However , and I t may be best to go into my next post with a more ' open mind ' , as it may be more of an opportunity than you are currently thinking. Nevertheless , whilst the words you use are indeed applicable in so far as the many BOD's who just seem to run the companies into the ground , I'm not sure I would use those sorts of words quite yet. Soph's and Professionals with deep pockets are just doing what they do. I'm only trying to expose some of the potential possibilities which may or may not be ' in play ' and how they end up relating back to social media platforms like Hot Copper. I've often pondered the myriad of possibilities on how such platforms can be used in ' Concert ' if you like to push a stock's SP.
And you do see this all the time particularly when Posters who turn on a dime and swing with their views. So it's happening all the time I would imagine - it's just how deep and big does this issue go when there is perhaps significantly more at stake ......including and not limited to the money or financial end of it.
And while I have been investing in Markets and stocks for near 40 years as a key component of my livelihood , I would not consider myself per say as a ' Soph ' , but am very interested on the movements behind the scene's , and so for me HC has been very much of a social experiment from the my not to distant beginnings. Right now I would just relax and go with the flow in regards your current Investment in ANW - but I get what you are saying in regards to the ' Evil ' which walks among us. I think the Victorian Police Commissioner said something along those lines in regards to that tragic event with the death of the 4 Victorian police officers. So you know there are terrible people out there who have no issues with doing terrible things. Not sure if that is the case here though. Bad management YES - dedicated and pro-active shareholders MAYBE .......time will tell.....
