"Teck is on the other side of the negotiating table where they have the opposite interest from our side, while we are trying to get the best possible offer they are trying to pay us as little as possible"

I said as much 3 months ago. Thats life in the business world. its a dog eat dog world. Teck wants to do the best for their shareholders by spending the least for the most, while CF wants the most for their BOD/shareholders too. Commodity prices, world economies, geopolitics all have a bearing on what the final figure ends up at. GLTA & GH. Until then, we wait.
