Silverdell, the silence is deafening.

It's been over a week since the suspension of shares at AIM tiddler Silverdell, yet there has still been no statement from the company.

At the very least this is a poor show as investors in the company have been left in the dark as to what is going on. This has only served to add to rumour of what may or may not have happened.

The worst case scenario here is that the reason for the silence is because whatever the problem was that resulted in suspension is not that easy to clear up. Perhaps it is bigger than first thought? Who knows, but unfortunately the company silence doesn't help in the matter.
