It looks like the 'locals' are not responding to you. Maybe it's because you used the feared 'drop' word.

If I am interested in a stock as a potential purchase I first of all look at 4 things:

1. A price chart with turnover, at least 5 years old if relevant. That will tell you where the price has historically been, which is a good start. The chart won't tell you of share issues and the like, so some company anns will need to be read.

2. The market capitalisation, then compare it with peers.

3. The number of shares on issue (check the last App 3B)- maybe a look at the latest top 20 too. If that is not on the co's website then have a look at the last Annual Report where there will be a list.

4. Details of any shares in escrow.

If you do these things then you should have a pretty good idea as to what SVY skeleton is like.

Then, if still interested, read quarterly reports starting with the latest; then go from there.
