The Lassonde Curve.
There will always be investors that drop out around the permitting period... it's inevitable. *shrug*
As VMY approaches the 'Development' phase of this cycle folk with a lower risk appetite will move on, driving the SP down. This is boon for those that are comfortable with (and have accepted) the level of risk/reward offered by this particular stock.
Nothing but love for those that have sold up... probably at a profit. Good stuff. You just have a lower risk tolerance, and that's cool. Each to their own. Sad to see you go.
For those quietly lurking in the background, with balls of steel, MAXIMUM respect. See you on the other side of the curve.
