Hi, Russ:

Excellent analysis of MFL, as usual.

IMO, mgt ownership is an important factor, but there's more to it than that. Watching what they do with their shares is equally important.

For instance: WSP directors and mgt, while they owned in excess of 15% of the shares, were not all buy and hold shareholders. Filed reports showed some of the directors were very astute at trading the peaks and valleys of the stock.

<I'm looking for an ownership threshold: 10%? Anybody else have ideas on that? >

I would include stakes held by big shareholders in addition to managment stakes as part of the insider 10% threshold. For instance ECO owning 20% of MFL is significant since they are probably looking out to protect the value of their stake. The same probably goes for the few juniors where Jipangu owns a significant %.
