RE:This guy owns 10 million shares of Stroud......I wonder why?Marketing definitely makes a difference, and having the right management at the helm. It's hard to predict which stocks will do the best in this recovering metals market. I recently owned a stock that had been down the in dumps for years until early this year, and is up over a thousand percent. I sold too soon to realize that much gain, but just goes to show that a stock having good drill results and promising prospects for a buyout or production can really to well in this market that has turned decidedly bullish this year.
