For the recordActually Sprott continues to be a large holder of CBR.... around 8MM shares I believe.
I did not buy CBR because of a promotion, but because my interest was piqued by Sprott and when the share prices subsequently dropped to .50, it seemed like a good entry point on a speculative stock.
Again, buying into well financed companies with a sound business plan and management that executes, then holding them until the plan unfolds is a strategy I have found successful in the past. It is a strategy used by Warren Buffett and a host of very succesful investors... whether juniors or not. Good luck on your pump and dump strategy.
