i do think the chatter on this board changes the share price, however, in the long run, it doesn't matter. it will naturally react to news of a business plan being successfully (or not successfully)implemented. for example, if laidlaw is online and producing energy in dec. 2009 (as it says it will be), it won't matter what bashers on this board say.
further the number of posters is way too small to change anything significantly, even for a company this small and with so few investors (about 11,000 according to last count).
"At times one remains faithful to a cause only because its opponents do not cease to be insipid."
