RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Macro factors 100% Sooner. The drop in share price is due to macro factors. The deal is not delayed or off because of the commodity prices. If RIO was that short sighted, they would have gone out of business long ago. They work their deals they way they due, not on anyone in this board's timeline. Just because some here hoped they'd make a bazillion dollars overnight or on some unsupported timeline expectation and are now sour because their expectations weren't met. Geez, too many people these days, young and old, stomp their feet and out anytime they don't get their way.
