RE:RE:wonder whatRD - Spot on. Trust in the market is akin to virginity. Once it's lost, it's gone forever. Who trusts these clowns? Certainly no one in London! You ask a key question: why did DD allowed this to happen? This was a great company that enjoyed the trust and confidence of shareholders, bankers, etc. If there was still trust and confidence, the banks would not have bailed on the working capital facility. DD wouldn't have had to dig into his pocket to finance the company. Starting on day 1 I've always believed that Brown's allegiance is to De Bums and not with the shareholders - including DD. Give him half a chance and he'll sell MPVD out to De Bums at a rock bottom price. Brown has only one interest - he wants to be CEO of De Bums. MPVD, like the now bust Firestone, is just a stepping stone. Everyone on London knows that. What he's failed to realize is that he'll NEVER be CEO of De Bums or any other serious mining company. For how much longer will the Dotards tolerate his incompetence? For the sake of the shareholders - including DD - cut him lose!
