Orgphrophet...I have the same suspicians as ORG, as to what is going on, even along the same lines as you speedy, this is systematic pressure. I don't believe in BS, it's my value system! A company with this much early potential, and a little bit of business acumen should of had no problem attracting good institutional support beyond what we have had to endure, in the cheap paper anyways. There are people that have a lot of cheap paper from early on and in the know, and who do they know? I believe there are certain people with there agendas, suspressing price, although I will not name, as I have no proof, just suspicians. As far as I'm concerned, ORG is a straight shooter. ORG has no agendas here other than being an investor! Speedy, I think ORG has been saying this all along, he's just being read in a different (wrong) light. I'll shake his hand!
In light of IR, an excerpt from Doug Casey
PROMOTION
"You can have the greatest product in the world, but still go broke if no one knows about it" is an old business adage that holds true in mining as well.
In more instances than I can remember, I've come across a well-run company turning up strong results on a geologically attractive property in a mining-friendly country... and the shares of the company are selling for pennies.
In these cases, the missing element is "Promotion" -- the fine art of being able to communicate your story to the broad community of investors and analysts. I have a soft spot in my heart for these companies, which are typically run by mining engineers and geologists -- scientifically minded individuals who sincerely believe that if they do their work well, the market will eventually discover them. While that occasionally happens -- and finding an under-promoted company can offer us a terrific opportunity -- more often than not these companies run out of cash and are unable to raise additional financings... at least at a cost that is not usurious to shareholders.
There are, of course, important nuances. If you can find an under-covered company with real merit that has just hired an investor relations staff or engaged a firm that specializes in corporate public relations, you can make a very nice return very quickly as the company gets the recognition it deserves.
Regardless, a company with an active investor/media awareness program will generate trading volume, driving your shares up and, again, giving you the opportunity to get your profits off the table when you decide to sell. Therefore, before you invest you should ask company executives about their specific plans to get the company noticed.
So, promotion can be a good thing. It can, however, also be a bad thing when a company is built solely around promotion. It is that kind of company that proves true the old Mark Twain quip that a gold mine is "a hole in the ground with a liar standing over it."
If you do your homework, however, it won't be long before you'll be able to tell the real cowboys from the ones that are all hat and no cows.
