RE: NML at PDAC?For most moderately traded resource stocks I would ordinarily say "yes," both in the anticipatory time frame, and at time of release, assuming the results are positive. However NML is a very thinly traded stock, largely unknown in both the mining and overall investment community. For this reason I am reluctant to make a guess.
In fact this will be a good time to actually gauge interest in the company, just by seeing how the stock reacts to this event. If the trading volume is historically high, we will know that someone is finally watching, if not, we know that we are still very much flying under the radar. And each alternative has its advantages and drawbacks. Another very distinct possibility is that this event in itself will cause the stock to be noticed, and may trigger a totally different trading pattern, attracting both institutions and additional speculators.
I am not going to risk trading the stock during this period as I plan to hold it over the long run. Being an old retired guy, I can remember how well earlier large scale iron producers performed, and their generous long term dividend polices. If NML duplicates these patterns, its well worth keeping.
