Yes have Jim explain his statement and back it up with links to short sales figures and naked short sales figures of junior mining companies and the mid tiers if applicable.

Have no issue with Jim Willie. I respect him even if I find his opinions to be more extreme than mine. I agree with him when he says that his suggestion is a "wild guess". Is a wild guess the same as a speculative fantasy? Maybe not. A fantasy can probably not be true while a speculation might. So If you prefer, I do not mind retracting the word "fantasy". But a "wild guess" is very much speculative. --I'd just like to know how you feel about what he said about retail investors getting the shaft not getting full value because of predatory practices by Barrick in cahoots with others. I think it is not probable. - I appeal to your sense of morality and fairness and ask that you verify or dismiss his claims Jim is not claiming... he is speculating. His speculations might be proven right. But they may not. Again, I personally don't think that way. Since the beginning of this bull, there has been many takeovers where shareholders have been generously rewarded. There will be more. I haven't seen any evidence that this is no longer the case.
