Zibo, Sprott I do not know Zibo but I have noticed a change in tone in his posts as well. However, I do not believe he is bashing at all-at least not purposely. I have been in positions where I have lost 70% of an investment and felt awful, like throwing up really. It probably has happened to many here as well. Everyone deals with stress in different situations. The fact is that anyone invested before the halt has had a huge paper loss, the kind that can keep people up at night if they were too heavily invested. I hope this is not the case for Zibo but the fact remains that anyone invested has lost 70% of their investment and that affects people-no matter who you are or how long you have been playing the market. To add to that situation, a guy like me, not wanting to but in hind sight, comes in, buys at these levels and talks about risk/reward ratios... I want to apologize for not being more sympathetic to those who lost here. I did not mean to come accross like a pumper or jackbutt.
As for Sprott buying, Cormark has bought just over 305k shares at an average of 36 cents. I am sure they can buy under anonymous or other accounts as well so hard to know what they have been up to. I hope they have increased their position as that will be a good sign. Other good signs today was that we finished green in a sea of red after retesting 31 cents. We set a higher low in the process and finished with a hammer, all good things!
Here are the house positions since the halt was lifted. I noticed today that RBC seemed to run out of shares to sell. That would be a great thing as they have been pounding us.
