" In this regards, I blame the hedge funds for the FWR fiasco because if they wanted to stand behind Noront and the RoF things could have been very different!"

Hedge funds are simply a financial machine after all with no mandate other than to make money. Call it "money without borders". There is no nationalism involved, just the $. Canada has a long history of selling out their assets to near sightedness.... no vision... FWR being the most recent. Strangely enough, I see our much maligned BOD being the sole agent for a hopeful NOT future. It will be up to them to ally with what ever it takes to make this company successful. I look forward to the days ahead when this BOD does in fact deliver and the change in commentary on this site.
