Thanks, I pretty much came to the same conclusion.  A tighter float makes for a more stable stock price.  There is a tendancy with companies with larger public floats (like TJS) to be subject to price manipulation and long periods of consolidation. 

 Personally I think both companies are undervalued.  So I wish HIHO would get it's TSX listing so I can buy it.  :)

Good IR is also a strong, albeit intangible, asset.
