The buyers will NOT buy ---until congress ok's the bail out-----and then only Precious metals and commodity stocks will be scoped up------- I personally think ---that no Major will step up to the plate until this mess in washington is settled------then the first big player that steps up and makes an offer---or proposal----- another will jump in to----I think after the windfall #100 hole is reached thinks will start to heat up-----first the split of off windfall----a tsx listing---than a JV--or BUYOUT--- BUT THEN AGAIN----the most likely is a 20% stack by Xstrata--then a buyout later---I think it will all take 1 -2 yrs--to play out-----I hope we all make a killing on Mcfauld's lake area----happy
