As we all know, phosphate use in India & China is low compared to the rest of the world and increased use will help agricultural production. The tide is very much in our favor, we just need management to come through.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a buyout offer. In the recent industry buyout frenzy, offers have ranged about 25% - 50% above pre-offer market cap. If we have similar offers, that would put us at $0.85 to $1. So long term, I would rather go with a partnership depending on funding...as long as dilution doesn't kill us shareholders.
