What impresses me about the current bout of trading--the silence, in particular--is that SIAF owners/traders are a very insular group. It seems there is very little intrusion from the outside investment world. Most of the people who buy and sell the stock are not new to the company but have been in it for a while and know it pretty well. We are the ones for the most part who generate the upsides and (excluding financing shares)the downsides. If true, this means that we are attracting few outside investors. How else to explain that, given, there is a kind of insiders' knowledge that SIAF is engaged in financial negotiations, the whole SIAF investment community seems to be aware of it and comes to an almost complete halt in recognition thereof. If the negotiations have a favorable outcome, and the stock rises, it will be 'us' who immediately drive it to new heights. This isolation from the larger investment community is proof that we are the vanguard in this case. If we prove to be right in our judgment, you can throw out forever the notion that (in the medium term) markets are efficient and random walks as fruitful as considered judgments. However, what every vanguard lacks and craves is outside confirmation that it is right, which in this case can only come from a stock that rises independent of our having to add yet again to our own positions.
