Why can't this be figured out by all here... someone(s) undertands the mine life cycle and will use whatever leverage they can. Being sheep and looking at what seems important (but is not) is what they hope you do. Clueless. I see LC and other SH as a plus for my gain. Think more. It's not what it seems. If you don't believe, think about how some have been here (ag/sh) for an awfully long time (on a stock SP who's relative is paint) and is of course here to serve you..... Just sayin....
