They have the cushiest billet of almost any company I have ever seen. Why on earth would they do anything to upset it unless it was either forced on them or they were getting too old to carry on?

Might explain why SSL wiggled out from under their vote with management restrictions. They way I see it, Mongolia or Rio Tinto are the only catalysts to action. But they, and Horizon may all have motivations to get moving with dealing with ETG once and for all. And tossing management. Value added to the OT project currently? And even on negotiations to price and sell out, really, probably nobody has as much interest as Horizon and Rio Tinto. We aren’t going to know until it happens is my best bet.

But look at how thin the trading is. Crazy drop on mini volume this morning, hopefully claws some back. Hate to see progress blow away. But the broad market mood is dull right now too.
