i dont blame anyone for being put off by the company if you happened to buy into the company when it was at 7 bucks youd be pissed but mind you there was one of the biggest collapses ever in the mining industry between then and now that people seem to forget. It just seems so strange to me that everyone feels these back room deals are being made with no proof whatsoever. all of a sudden everyone on agoracom has become an expert on market manipulation and if the agoracomers see it so clearly why doesnt the OSC. Noront is a small company no way is there a big conspiracy involving institutional investors and the OSC and i guess the ontario government as well for not coming to terms with the first nations. Like i dont think people realise what they are saying we are Noront a small time exploration company not Enron. And as i mentioned in an earlier post its not like all the other nickel explorers are doing that much better than noront in terms of stock performance.
