>>What if hedging (i.e. shorting Barrick) came back to bite Mr. Sprott ? Isn't it surprising that he can short Barrick while at the same time admitting that he doesn't fully understand their hedges. Perhaps it is HIS shareholders that should be worried<< Maybe all this success has gone to Eric's head? Not from my personal experience with him. I have gone against him more than once over 8 years...and lost virtually every time :( Shareholders worried?
