Dear Moi & DHOD,
The market sometimes reacts in mysterious ways, and manipulation seems to be everywhere as the Robin Hood fiasco is revealing (sort of like the pre-Snowdon days when we had an inkling that we were being listened to but could not quite conceive of the extent until Snowdon…same thing here…we all know there is mass manipulation but never quite to the extent that Robin-hood is teaching us).
On a separate note, I am surprised anyone would think the TSX up-listing was a flop. We up-listed to get more eyeballs on the stock, and thereby increase awareness, all in the hopes of generating a fairer market value for the stock (one way or another). I believe a review of the past two months would indicate that we were extremely successful. If you look at the average daily volume of our stock since Nov 20th I think you will agree the volume has increased quite substantially, particularly when you take into consideration the seasonally slow period between American Thanksgiving and January 4th. When you look at the period since January 4th this improvement is even more pronounced. To cap it off, during this same period, we caught the attention of Cathy Woods (need I say more) who has now included us in one of her Index funds. So far, I think we have done quite well; at least by the measurements we guide ourselves by…slow is smooth and smooth is fast etc. etc.…
Hope that Helps,
Peter
