When Stifle was buying look what happend and that was nowhere near 40 million shares.

If Teck began purchasing shares steadily in the open market. There is a very good chance that if the SP began climbing, there would be a considerable amount of selling. If Teck decides to continue buying up till the $1.00 or $1.50 mark. The number of shareholders that would bail at those levels in order to "escape" the CUU doldrums would be huge.

When comparing Apples; one must remember that when Stifel began purchasing, the entire commodities market was skyrocketing. Not so, anymore. The market is in the dumps. Any profit-taking opportunity would be welcomed. Therefore, if Teck decides to purchase in the open market following the drill results. There is a very real chance the SP will NOT skyrocket, Nor will Teck purchase at extremely high levels when they would be trying to SAVE money.
