SHELL STOCK REINSTATEMENTS

[Stock]

Dumb question:

What makes filing a 15-12g good news?

Can someone provide a recent example of when this was a triggering event for something special with a particular stock?

I assumed consenting to de-registration was not a good thing.

But I see a lot of people on iHub are excited about that, and I'm puzzled. They are even posting about companies that HAVEN'T filed a 15-12g, which I find to be extremely strange! How can one be excited about that??

Is this the new "NOBO List" buzzy thing?
