RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Alert!, Alert! Hello Goodbuddy
The only locations which I primarily check, on consistent basis, for company news releases and company specific information are the company website and the requisite Sedar. com.
I couldn't care less for nor do I expect to discover NanoXplore Inc. pertinent information on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or any other social media site.
Yes. I do scour the more reputable news sources for factual company information, which would additionally be picked up by major media sources yet, primarily be first presented at the company's website and Sedar.com.
Also, your point regarding analysts reports being a great source of factual information - along with such analysts typically selling their preferred holdings ('selling their book', so to speak)-, is a good one.
Caveat Emptor though. When reading analysts reports, you invariably have to utilize your "bull_hit filter" or 'seperate the wheat from the chaff', so to speak.
You went on to state, "If an index wants to add a company to its fund, I'm not 100% sure that that company needs to know what an index is going to do (Not like a fund needs permission to do so when adding its shares to their index). Maybe I could be wrong...."
RESPONSE: I could very quickly provide you with my answer to such a question or questions Goodbuddy.
However, yours certainly presents as the very kind of question or questions which you should in fact put to NanoXplore's CFO, Luc Veilleux or the COO, Rocco Marinaccio or the CEO, Soroush Nazarpour or perhaps Rob Wildeboer, Chairman of the Board of Directors or Arinder Mahal, former managing director at Dundee Securities and a NanoXplore board director, to name a few.
Take your pick Goodbuddy.
Speaking of your pick or 'picking' to be exact.
Perhaps 'picking' their respective noses or perhaps utilizing a thick straw to blow wads of wet paper spitballs onto the ceilings of their respective offices, could have been what either of these gentlemen may have been far too busy doing; this, instead of actually paying attention to the very real potential for all 'shite' to be made to 'hit the fan' the very day NanoXplore began trading as a constituent comprising the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index and during the subsequent trading days, when every fund manager and their cousins were going to begin and continue dumping their units of the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index and their respective equities holdings of the various company constituents comprising the MSCI Canada Small Cap Index - and obviously looking forward to previously taken up 'shorts' and perhaps 'naked shorts' quite profitably paying off?
Whether or not anybody here or anybody responsible over at NanoXplore wants to honestly admit to it; is neither here nor there. The likelihood of such a admission of culpability is akin to a snowball's chance in hades, so to speak.
It's clear that this entire fiasco was and is representative one ginormous clusterf@ck; something which rightfully and quite justifiably should be placed at the feet of those NanoXplore representtaives responsible.
Also, I can't emphasize enough how the kumquats over at IIROC and those who were asleep at the switch representing the various equities trading oversight authorities, are without a doubt also assigned ownership of such a clusterf@ck.
NanoXplore minority share holders were intentionally targeted and left to hang, so to speak; this in allowing 'institutional' share holders to 'game' this company's equities valuations and in allowing 'insiders' to profit from 'insider information' in many respects.
You don't just come out with some brief poppycock boiler plate' language statement; this after the carnage is done and after you've had the insider's opportunity to buy very cheaply discounted GRA shares, whilst knowing full well what transpired prior to and throughout that dreadful trading day.
Where in the name of JC was the immediate requisite halt of trading in your company's equities, immediately after having first realized the very kind of sustained and precipitous share valuation decline which was afoot that dreadful day?
