Bashers or Pumpers Its great reading on this board.
There are two trains of throught, the basher John who points out the flaws (many of which are correct points) and then there are the pumpers (who probably have a lot invested and need to promote the stock in hope it goes up). It appears management are looking after their own-self interests first or else why take cash bonus instead of stock option unless they themselves don't have a lot of confidence the share price will move. Sure its in the employment contract, but if you ask for lots of cash bonus in your contract that tells me a lot - and contracts are negotiated and not forced on an employee.
My concern with this company is whether it will become another Baja Mining, run by people that have not actually built or operated a project, resulting in under-funding. There are many parallels with Baja so far and we'll see if that path continues. Keep the conversation going.
