JimmySnoozer...........My guess would be retail investors don't care about the companies condition, due managements financial maneuverings, because they are all caught up in the euphoric possibilities of silver rising . Lets face it ,even badly managed companies go parabolic when the commodity turns.
I expect to see silver with some gains this year but any euphoric rise is way down the road and making the company executives realize, they don't own the majority interest,therefore unnecessary self serving policies are a detriment ,.. in long term success ,...for everybody including themselves ,should be a factor in their decisions.
Operationally or mine economics show US Silver being run well , but financially it is self destructive ,in my opinion.
