Zeev I'm not sure that a comparison between IPM and GPGI is valid. Remember the huge quantities of money spent by IPM on PR and the elaborate dog and pony shows they put on. The PR budget was enormous. What is the GPGI PR budget? Practically nothing because Jensen doesn't know the first thing about promotion ( which incidentally validates him as an honest man even though we all suffer). The IPM PR brought attention to itself from far more potential players than GPGI ever had. Just look at the quantity of posting on the two threads. Also, you know that GPGI is on the BB and IPM is still on Nasdaq( at least so far). Who pays attention to BB stocks relative to Nasdaq stocks? I suspect that there are players who are waiting for GPGI to get off the designated security list and/or establish a solid COC before they become buyers. But I dont believe that they represent major mining interests. They see technical weakness in the stock price and so they feel they can afford to watch and wait for a bottom. The failure of PR also means that the smart money knows that there will be plenty of shares for sale on the way up which they can accumulate. You are one of the watchers and waiters no? Regards, Ed
