I agree with everything that you said and respect the opinions of this board, but again, it's my contention that we (as shareholders of not just AUMN, but all junior mining co.'s) can't wait around for the U.S. government (or the Canadian gov't for that matter) to alter or change the regulations, to protect shareholders and curtail (or rollback) algorithmic trading. I don't think that will happen fast enough. IMHO, the fundamentals of these companies are being squelched by these algorithms because they know they can get away with it, and that there's very little retail interest. The game has changed. No longer can we sit around for quarterly reports to come out and say that cash flow is positive etc.... The shorts don't care about fundamentals. They'll continue to hammer these shares all the way to 0. Changes need to be made by these companies to confront and overcome the illegal/naked shorts that pull the strings of these companies like they're puppets!!
