<<Did Goldcorp "almost" buy Placer Dome?>>

Kinda looks that way. Wonder why it fell apart? I liked this bit:

"McEwen admitted that the second quarter’s purchase of gold bullion at an average price of $323 per ounce was a test of the physical market. “I was curious to see what the breadth of the market was,” he said, adding that he had inquired of a bullion bank how long it would take to acquire 20 tonnes of gold. The answer was two days, so he put in an order for just 6% of that tonnage and ended up waiting two weeks for delivery and suffering a 50% increase in the spread."

No problem with liquidity, eh?
