RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:PTM is a *steal*
Liberty Mutual and Franklin Investments are NOT in the business of taking mining companies private. It is silly to continue to speculate about them taking PTM private.
They may be willing to sell it out for the right price, if there were an interested buyer. So might I. There are still plenty of risks (company, country, market) which currently impede buyout interest. So, it's probably a long-shot -- though, not impossible. A buyout bid would be great for PPS.
