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.
