It's all good sooner or later I think McConnell does a fine job explaining things for investor relations. So does Christie. My guess is she's just passing it off because she so clearly loves being involved in operations as evidenced by her interviews.
If it will be Barrick, I have to thump my chest and say it's the only suitor I've mentioned on this board, and quite a while back :)
But honestly I don't know. They could go it alone. They could get bought. They could even do a merge with their neighbours, or even some kind of a cooperation agreement. Remember, these people have been sharing human and equipment resources for years. I honestly think anything is possible.
Whatever happens I think this SP has some room to grow and it's only the timing and amount that is uncertain. And will it be sooner or later? With the deals we see going down lately it's hard not to think VGCX is seen as a prized asset. But they are also really strong on their own. In the recent Crux interview, when John was trying to address the Coeur/Oiron situation before it was resolved, he said his other major investors were telling him to just keep doing what you're doing.
It just feels to me like anything can happen. At this moment I'm not buying more or selling.
