"time horizon : if all goes well how long do u predict to see a buck or two ?"
Easy!
Just answer the following questions:
1) What will the price of nickel be in 3 months, 6 months, a year and 2 years from now?
2) How will the price of oil move over the next 2 years?
3) What will the CDN/US dollar exchange rate be at 3 months, 6 months, a year and 2 years from now?
4) Will we receive the funds required to get us through to cash flow positive full production operations without share dilution?
If you have answers for those 4 questions, I can probably make a fairly good estimate on what share price will be :)
