RE: aur up 3%, copper up 10+% Hey, taking it private is something I mused about when it was under $7 but I could not find anyone that wanted to loan me the money. Now as this year develops it looks like AUR will finish the year with NET cash near $6 -- a takeover at $30 could easily be paid for and financed by AUR's own cash (Heck, with a full year of Duck Pond in 2007 adding around $1.50/share alone to 2006 earnings AUR's cashflow could finance a takeover at $50 using junk bonds). If Campine can find someone in China that wants to buy it I will lead the charge.
