One one the hard things with the continual waiting for SC is that we can't pursue other investment ideas.  

Bang on, I've missed many others and continue to wait patiently as I see another investment that I'm reallly interested in - hoping it will be there when this is done....if this gets done.   Everyone always says " the sp doesn't matter", and while I agree in terms of buyout, it does matter when it comes to liquidating your investment.  It would allow shareholders to sell some of their shares and pursue some of these other ventures while it appears to us commonfolk that they dink around with timelines that never seem to be met.  I had really lined up my finances so that by this time in the year I could realign things...went heavy into cuu expecting to know, one way or another, by July what we had.  I know some are convinced a deal is being drawn up, and sometimes my mind goes there, but the lack of sp run up concerns me.  It seems logical Teck would buy up to 10% secretly and on the process see our sp rise followed by a buyout at a fair price.  We know how shares are held in this pseudo-private company but Teck shareholders I doubt would like to see a buyout that is 4x or greater the sp of copper fox
