Not remotely Teddy, the vast majority since the late 90's involved with placings and paid in shares, rarely hang around, just want to be paid and move on, they since the real INVESTORS , Banks Real II's and Financial House pulled pretty much out of the Casino side of the market, they are still around but if you look at their own fine print, conditions and criteria for Investment, many do not even look at a share until stable and have a Market Cap of over £50m, similar in the USA but $100.
All bucket shops and quick buck play both ends pump and dump wonga's these days, until a company has its holy grail, be that progressing a project of scale , or going into production (revenues).
GCM unlike most in the past couple of decades have managed to stay afloat , with better funders and by comparison little dilution, just look at Main Market copl high £'s now crucified by bad management sub a fraction of a P and if no consolidation had taken place, would have 367 BILLION shares and still growing (100-1 consolidation now 3.67B)
GCM still holds very tasty assets and potential growth projects, with a lowly 238m shares, positive progress and £1+ not out of the question, around 15 years ago, roared to £6 a share with around 50m in issue, the coal and projects have not left the building, Chinese still onboard and Hasina and Co , now appearing to see the light and sense of using their own resources v expensive imports.............GLALTH.
