Bottom Line is that if you are in the diamond business it is highly likely that you will be doing business with DeBeers. nationalpost.com cheers

gemsearcher, I think the news medias focus always is on the negative. Any SUF stories I have read (including this one) seem to highlight the De Beers "battle" or other "struggles" or a "sagging" share price etc. SUF has gotten more news coverage from these things (during the share prices' precipitous fall) than during its rise from a penny to $21+. Success stories always take a back seat to problem stories, IMO. I betcha if you ask a non-shareholder who SUF is, you will get this answer: "Isn't that the company that lost all their stuff to De Beers"???? Rather than the right answer: A diamond company with a mine and yadda, yadda, yadda. Regards, Dean
