Can't disagree with your comments JFT. There are lots of scum that follow junior mining and oil and gas stocks, manipulation everywhere not just Civelli, it pervades society at all levels. Wall St a prime example of self interest, the vampire squid no better.
On a side note just finished reading Michael Lewis's book "The Big Short", great book. At the heart of it is how the folks that shorted the mortgage market came about being able to do that. When the smart money decided they had to short this market there was no method to do that, synthetic CDO's allowing them to bet against it hadn't been invented yet. So they went to the big Wall St. firms and said we would like to purchase this product , can you develop it? So GS , Lehman and gang developed the product in conjunction with AIG thinking that they were taking the suckers money , it floated them an income stream with little downside , they thought. The detail guys who looked inside these mortgage traunches new better, as they started to default the smart guys made billions , Bear Sterns, Lehman went under. Some times Wall St. is just as dumb as a bag of hammers.
