First of all, the "chatter" on this board has no effect on the share price whatsoever. I've been quite active in recent weeks/months trying to show people the value. Not just here, but on SA as well. If I thought it would matter then I wouldn't be doing it until I have a full position. Which I don't have now.
Secondly, there is some truth to that. I was explaining to someone in my group the he can book a gain of $2.91 for every SIAF share he owns on the ex-date. He asked me where that value comes from. I told him, this and that, private company etc. He said, but if you can't sell the shares then they have no value. Geez... this guy has an IQ of over 120. So I asked him, all private companies are worthless then?
