No that wasn't my point. I don't think Jim or his shareholders would even consider selling the properties with precious metals, base metals, and rare earth stakes in phase 2 of the bull market when so much more upside is at hand.

My point being that the Chinese have started buying today indicating a point where the equities are so low that this may be one of the best opportunities to begin the merger and acquisition phase. Thus marking a floor on most of the precious metals equities. Todays action by the Chinese will lift precious metals equities going forward.
