I think we should make a difference between pumping and promoting. I feel Skymark is promoting it, not pumping, as that some how gives an impression of ' an unethical practice designed only to entice others to jump into buying with the sole intent of making quick profits for themselves'.
I think this is a real jewel - Someone who has the stomach to wait for a few years, and if even half of what the CEO says, is executed, those who stay put, are holding a goldmine.
But ofcourse, you are spot on - anyone who wants to invest, has to do her/his own DD.
