Because a man is a professor doesn't mean that he isn't extremely biased and is certainly not the font of all wisdom. I've had a particular and specific interest in this which I won't go into, but I've noticed over the years that Barrick has attracted extreme comments from certain people like this professor stating that it is facing bankruptcy etc. Yet the company continues to prosper. I've been reading this sort of stuff for many years - then I look at the market. For a time I wondered why the company didn't sue for slander or libel, but they have chosen to take a different route, rightly so IMO

Mr Davidson has retired from Barrick. You have invented the rest
