Wrgunacstuf,
Nice to see you posting again. I hope you will share your theory regarding the big blocks. I think there is a possiblility it is a friendly group or individual who wants the faithful longs to stay in the stock after Tesoro is sold. When the day comes that Tesoro is gone, and the BC properties are no longer under SLI, what might the stock price be? I think it might skyrocket on assays and take over bids, then plummet quickly after the sale. If someone bought in now or even at $2.73 they may be willing to remain in the loyal shareholder base for the remaining properties at this price. If the price was allowed to run now and people bought in at $8 (just to throw out a number) they may sell all and move on after a big payday if the stock returned to $2ish and stayed there while other properties were developed. As we all know that doesn't happen overnight. Just one possible scenario based on zero information . . .
