Ken, I will reply to your post using anecdotal pro-GATA material.
... Barrick 15... accolade for a well managed business...
Barrick ABX is a very well managed business in the sense that they have a well defined, structured and clear end result objective origination firmly in place and very deeply as in "unable to undo" set in concrete path taken that can not be changed or modified or corrected even with the evidence that GATA has presented that foretells events of aSoon nasty foreboding future for ABX.
... Will we see 12... represent interested in trading...
With an existence of manipulation of the type GATA has spoken of, then what can occur next can far exceed the boundaries and limits understood by investors unaware that the gold market is fixed, meaning that those who are unaware or anti-GATA are both at high risk.
... A move from 12 to 16 would offer a 25% return...
When the distance between the man with wings and the Sun gets too low, then the wax will melt and the wings will leave and float while the man, depending on how far he dared traveled, will either fall into the Sun like a crash & burn, or just float forever between the Earth & Sun at near zero value of gravity, never moving enough to know his final fate.
... a suit by barrick shareholders cannot be discounted...
Many many months ago i speculated that eventhought Barrick is part of what let the manipulation of the gold price occur, that Barrick was not an "Insider" but only was let into the flow of immoral and/or criminal events by the realization of the Powers that B in the world of Movers & Shakers that Barrick is of a nature to not be timid and let others bully and threaten their ability to exist and grow in wealth and power as a gold producer. Just so happened that Barrick also identified itself when contacted that rather than just be one of the gold producers "in the know" and survive, that Barrick itself wants to "be a player" so that just surviving is replaced "sharing in the plunder."
But Barrick was informed that the "Core" players not only do not want another to join their group, but in the way that it was formed over time and for what reason, that Barrick could not enter even if it was deemed good and even if it was deemed necessary.
So Barrick "did it's task", aTime has passed.
Barrick is in aWait mode for the final slaughter and holding back while watching "Dead Gold Producers Walking."
Hiccup, Oops, House of Cards aFalling - So Close, yet Nope.
Not so much towards Barrick, but "them" The Gold Manipulators.
So here Barrick has an opportunity, roll the dice, accept for-sure lawsuits from shareholders with a GATA aTime, or slime-out back-out double-cross "them" and B a Hero.
... will probably get an obligatory "nuts" from triple D...
Lets hope so, as he makes a good soap box for us to stand upon.
