I agree with you it makes him an idiot, but at least anyone that bought shares in regards to his pumping can have piece of mind knowing people are trying to get more shares for x amount of money and it's still the best longterm hold around.
Probably not his fault. The CEO was leaving bread crumbs stringing people along talking about uplisting and throwing out the word billions.
Maybe it will happen... Maybe it won't, but I personally do not invest based on what I read on the boards. Can't say the same for anyone else. Cordova owes no one an apology.
