RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:ESEI agree that the preferred option is not to allow RIO to increase to more than 10% prior to any buyout. That being said, nothing can stop them from open market buying if they should choose to hit that 12.5% mark on their own in the absence of Paul rolling out the red carpet for them.
I believe we have less than a 5% chance of being bought out by RIO this month. Where is the pressure for RIO to move right here right now? The path of least resistance is for them to inch forward and figure out when/if they take the plunge to secure a board seat.
12 months from now it has a much better chance of coming to a head than today. I know you want it now, but the timing isn't in the cards. Maybe I am wrong and RIO will surprise all of us and open the purse strings, but I won't hold my breath on that this month.
