I guess trying to complete a trade 6 minutes prior to closing was not a good idea - missed out on picking up some more GG. Debating as to whether I put a limit bid in about 20 cents higher overnight. Spent too much time humming and hawing about whether or not to pick up GG. Maybe I get lucky and we start lower tommorrow?

GG/GLG:

 

Rob McEwan, former Chairman of Goldcorp and it's largest single shareholder, was on ROBtv---the Canadian business channel.

 

He blasted the propsed deal.

 

He said the premium was excessive, pointing to the 10% swoon in GG's shares.

 

Second, he thought that the current environment was not conducive to a large takeover. Both companies are in the midst of development in a time of great competition for engineering and technical talent and short supplies and long backorders of equipment.

 

Twice, he said that GG was giving up 2/3rds of its shares for only a 30% increase in assets. He expected further declines in GG's stock price in the coming days.

 

Finally, he anticipated a shareholder revolt that may force the directors to call a vote.

 

As an aside, he expressed bullish views on the price of gold, though he offerred no reasons why.

 

He said gold would trade above $850 in 2008 and be much higher by 2010-12.

 

Here's ROBtv's website. Often they archive videos of interviews.

OT

 

Can't Tagalong...but I'll walk Bisayas. Tagalog in the north, Bisaya (Visaya, Cebuano) in the south. I read one of your posts regarding Indonesian food on M2M and again had to laugh at all the similarities between Indonesian and Bisaya. Udang = Ulang (shrimp), nangka is the same (didn't realize how big jackfruit grows!!), one other that I forget. We have as many names for rice as the eskimos do for snow. :) I think I could learn it easily.

 

I guess it all makes sense. Who were the first people in the Philippines/Mindanao? Muslims in Cotaboto traveling from Indonesia. Christians came a couple hundred years later to Luzon, north.

 

Producing/applied for mineral properties in Mindanao.

Surely you mean the Indonesians were the first illegal immigrants. :lol: The Flips must have been settled millenia earlier by the Polys who came in their seal skin kayaks. Er I think .... :unsure:
