I honestly think China's potential shadow banking and over supply of ghost cities/condos/housing could be a big cause on why Canada's TSX-V is down so much. If you take a look at Canada's TSX-V, we are down back to 2002 levels which is pretty depressing. I think TCK's outlook is quite negative right now in the mining sector (i remembered reading it in one of their semi-annual reports on forecast outlooks), so probably why no offer was made to CUU. Copper price is down quite a bit, and not sure when it will recover back to the 2011 levels. Management didn't do a good job to try to get us bought out during the good times, and had the BFS delayed by what? over a few years?

I think if China's banking problems and housing bubble burst, we can see the a pretty bad disaster coming along, and not sure when the next recovery would be. Seems quite unlikely to see a potential recovery anytime soon. Maybe 2015 or even 2016 in the mining sector?

I wished i looked at more economic factors in the past, than relying on some of ppl's post here. And remember these are my opinion, and i could be totally wrong.

this is pretty negative but it wasn't removed.

And as for your post, you lost me in the end.

I bet this good case for legal...

It's like a bank lending $ to potential borrowers... need to analyze a lot of things, the bads, the goods (opportunities and strengths), and the risk it poses to the organization.

For any sector.. you gota look at...

Pestel... political, economical, social, technological, ethics, demographics, regulatory risks..

Then we have the normal risks, such as market forces risk.

If i had all that information to analyze during back then, I would have gotten out a long time ago. ohh but it keeps on getting removed.. gg moderators..

I'm not sure what you're trying to get at?
