No I have never seen such a strong shareholder base, but what my intuition is telling me is that a large majority of long term investors and I am talking 2 years plus people are starting to really wonder what is up with no news releases of substance to speak of. Speculation, fears, negativity are bred when a company does not show substance in development, believe me I personally have been involved in something like this before, the company traded at a high of 2.40 and is now at .17 cents. No news, no development, no value added catalysts and that is where the company I was involved with ended up. I had/ and have alot of faith in the Tesorro, but Lori is really trying my patience and really making me reevaluate my investment decision. I will be honest I am seeing a recurring cycle here and my experience with this type of vacuum of info. did not turn out well. I am starting to become Once Bitten, twice shy!!! Hope I am wrong and very soon proven otherwise!!
