Excellent post, FS, and I would only debate one statement you made;

"is this a legitimate investment or part of the game"

My only comment would be that no one on this forum or others has come up with any reasonable suggestion of what this "game" consists of. With any other stock I own, a PP suggests something, If it is Flo Thru, it means something. If insiders are buying, it means something, if they are selling it means something else. If they are slow with news, it means something, if too much news, Yadda,yadda.

In Noront's case none of the above seem to have their normal signals attached. Nothing I have seen recently has given a true indication of where we are going, except maybe T/A, and then only half the time. The really interesting point I would draw attention to, is that management appears to be feeding this confusion purposely, and that only serves to add to the questions.

Best regards
