RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: No answer from IR I like to think that all shareholders are equally valuable. You need investors willing to participate in a private placement to provide funding for the company so they can explore, you also need investors willing to buy on the open market to help support the stock and keep the bid-ask strong. A strong bid-ask helps give confidence to those people considering participating in a private placement. A strong response to a private placement gives confidence to those people supporting the stock on the open market. Can you say symbiotic? In my opinion people that run a public company and fail to understand this relationship generally have their share price drop into the toilet.
