Unfortunately maya many people equate selling of stock as shorting, which it isnt. They also dont differentiate the strategic selling of parcels of shares to hold the price down to accumulate larger portions. Its all the same thing to them.
Now as to your previous comment on anyone with a negative view "being attacked in the most vicious way". This is simply not borne out by a review of the postings.
However I think its fair to say that when there is repeated reiteration of so-called "facts" that have been repeatedly and systematically addressed, and that they are borne out of wilful mistatement of fact, or a complete lack of understanding of the present situation in the DRC as to existing mining activity in Katanga or current developmental investment, not just from the Chinese, then I can understand why some people might be getting fed up here.
There has been exhaustive work done by people here to lay out transport options. A particular person repeatedly comes in and keeps saying "its a land locked resource, it will never be mined". Nothing more, no evidence, no analysis. Yet people have shown mine materials and equipment get moved every day in the Region, and that active investment to open up access is progressing well, largely to schedule. Of course holders are going to get annoyed.
The current rejoinder on management's fallabilities seemed to arrive in unison. Its like one takes up the song and then the choral society chimes in. No research, someone said it, let's run with that tune. Its like seagulls with chips. My observation, I havent yet met a small cap where the deficiencies of those leading are not called out from time to time. Some succeed despite themselves, some suffer the inevitable association of their actions with the time its taken to achieve something, which is always longer than shareholders have patience for. And yes, some are complete and utter duds. I think I shall reserve my judgement just yet on the AVZ team.
Then there are the bizarely obsessed holders of other lithium stocks. Every utterance here seems to grate them up the wrong way, but here is the kicker,the stocks they hold are largely stitched up with offtakes. What happens with AVZ has absolutely no bearing on their success. In fact, a successful AVZ means a more viable lithium industry because if the EV and energy revolution falters due to inability to meet demand, the whole thing could fall over. The last thing we want is for overall demand to come up short because every one is waiting for three years to get their EV car or powerwall. That would force substitution back to ICE vehicles and stifle infrastructure investment. If the EV revolution is to succeed, Ganfeng, LG, CATL, Panasonic etc have to be able to supply. That will take more than SQM, PLS, AVZ and the the others have longer term. Willing failure for any other resource is not in anyone's interest.
Anyway, your presence here is, interesting, to say the least. I see you getting testy with any counter opinions expressed by others to your narrative on the PLS forum, yet defensive of the same counter opinions here. Its an interesing juxtaposition.
