RE:I hope Ivanhoe does a share buy-back I don't think that's needed. If that happened it could pose a market liquidity problem.
look at our average daily volumes. These shares are held tight already. You will find that shares sold short have been a good portion of the volume when they're initially sold short and again when they're bought back.
Look at the major holders and institutions. Our shares outstanding are not as traded as the shares outstanding may imply.
Here are the current fund holdings, and we haven't even reported a profit yet. Imagine how many more funds will want in.
