But anyway, I agree that RYM is a good performer (depending on the timeframe you consider, you might even call it stellar). SUM is currently doing not that flash (though it still doubled its SP over the last three years, I know of shares, which did worse), but it has in my view at this stage more potential.
Yes, there are some questions around the competence (and/or integrity) of some of the SUM directors, but I don't think they are related to their general competence in running a business, though errors in judgement are obviously always a problem. On the other hand - their current "stone walling" on having a lapse of judgement on Norahs share trading prior to releasing price sensitive information is not worse than what I think other boards might do as well. Just part of the system - never admit guilt. Directors with competence, integrity and the backbone to admit having made a mistake are a rear breed, indeed.
IMHO Sum has currently the bigger potential than RYM, but admittedly as well greater risks. If the board turns to become a real problem, it can be replaced.
