I can't recall ever seeing any "official", or investor - generated timeline bear out here, with the possible exception of the drill hole adjacent to Pebble many months back. Timelines usually turn out to be nothing more than wishful thinking, or theoretical possibilities existing at a particular moment.

OTOH, anything is possible, and I am expecting the unexpected.

Lastly, I do think markets do have a way of getting rid of as many participants as possible before large moves demonstrate their nature.
