Why would there be buyers? K and ARU just put another nail in the junior coffin. No one likes the deal except bankers, lawyers and maybe some insiders loaded with options. K was set up to get the ball rolling and the banking / legal fees will just keep coming in ...

Yes it is extreme, sorry just trying to fulfill the function of sector polyanna, hip-hip cheerio lads, always darkest before the dawn, nothing goes far in a straight line, suck it up and ride to the sound of the guns, that sort of thing

But maybe this is the time they just keep going down, through august, september, right through tax-loss season and wouldn't that be a dilly this year, with no buyers there will be no successful sellers either, might as well shut the exchanges down now and save on their light bills, the species isn't going to need any more metal

If that's the case, then where did all the money go? ... legend has it they make that stuff every day, it does seem quite difficult to imagine a shortage with a cost of production that low ... or could it be that there's a few bucks out there, feeling burned from this or other futile efforts and waiting for somebody else to uptick something before piling on

All the other times things were this bad, i remember thinking geez, things were never this bad before, and feeling it just as strongly as now ... and after a while, they weren't that bad any more, funny how that would work so many times, and not this summer ... oh well, if it's big kahuna wipeout, there's always next year? ... for the survivors, i mean

In other words, it creates for those who have so cash a major buying opportunity?

is the rest of the market so much different than the junior golds ?

here is a chart of a pharmaceutical company (just one example) for the last 10 years. Holding the last few years, except for the divvies, wouldn't have been worthwhile, and worse for Canuck investors who'd have lost on the currency exchange too...

and haven't we been told the boomers are aging, will need more meds, etc. ? how do you think people holding this one would feel?
