RE:RIGHT ON POINT...RATES MAY RISEThe bigest nickel miners are shutting down because of no good prospect for making money in these times. Interest rates go higher and there is even less of an opportunity to. Maybe in a dozen years nickel might be profitable outside Indonesia, say in Cuba for instance. Until then, Sherritt might as well focus on their oil drilling and power generation. They have a captive market at least in Cuba right now for those.
