why invest in companys such as st barbara i have had a small parcel for 30 years i paid 20 cents a share and today they are worth .36 cents not much of a capital gains .st barbara has spent more than my shares are worth by sending me out brochures, proxy voting forms etc and they have a cheek to give the ceo a ridiculous amount of free shares , what about the investors if it wasnt for us the company wouldnt be where it is today
