That's why we need you here on board, Captain!
To give the Crew a calming account of the Facts, and a "stand fast at your positions" kind of speech...
You know how I feel about China being a huge factor in this...I agree with you that the Majors will have to take them into account when the bidding starts...The Chinese have a lot of dollars looking for "nest"...some sort of investment that might go up in this Global economics restructuring of power and money...
Gold is hitting new records in price as I type this....what better place for the Chinese to park their cash than in a friendly Country...that just came thru on a tour to see about partnering on "deals"...than an Ecuadorian gold mine and other natural resources, such as the large copper deposits that are scattered around Ecuador....probably some on ARU's concessions.
Just My thoughts this Morning,
Long for Cash
