RE: Shareholders shafted and still no news!17 Mar 2025 15:18
"Stocks need press, PR, excitement"
No. Stocks are equity shares in companies. In order for share prices to increase (beyond short term volatility), the COMPANY needs to be more successful than it was previously. This success will generate higher prices, good public relations, interesting news stories, and general chatter and this will in turn drive prices higher. But it's the progress of the company that is the underlying driver, not banal chatter. Because, with the sheer weight of nonsense chit chat on this board, the share price would be at £10 otherwise.
