Is it possible that Teck does have our balls in their hands? Hope not.
The way that's worded it sounds like Teck could hurt us. In that aspect the answer is no. With the thought that they are holding the ball now...very possible and we are likely waiting for them to make a move so we can decide on our next move. They could be making us tweek the BFS to their liking being as they do have to justify their moves to their shareholders(thats an ironic statement given the silent treatment coming from our leader). So it is possible that they are holding the ball and looking for holes in it. If they find a hole we patch it. No more holes and they give us the ball and we release the BFS. Again the ball would be in their hand. Those of us with faith in the deposit know that teck cant hurt the ball no matter how hard they squeeze. Ernesto has a lot of faith and as long as he stays, I stay. At this time all I know is that the BFS is way overdue and we can only speculate on the reasons why.
