It's all an illusion, built on perception! (When perception fails the rest is history!)
On the Jr exchanges of the world "value" has little to do with stock price, its "perception of value" that rings the "bells!" (ie, sets the price!)
These exchanges, one of the leaders of which is the Venture, have developed into the money machines they are today promoting "perception!" (Although the norm, rather than "promoting" perception, SAN choses to "let the #'s speak for themselves!")
Most Cos listed on these venues are lining the pockets of brokers, insiders, and landmen, a cadre which includes very few saints but many sinners! (Publicly quoted as "the biggest collection of grifters, con artists and rogues anywhere!")
And this is where SAN choses to languish.
Also, when markets plunge, these exchanges lead the pack on its downward spiral!
Several Jrs publishing excellent #'s this past week failed to "spke" as expected.
As Ben Hogan said looking back on his days as a caddy, "It was tough in the yard!"
