RE:Why sell now?I wasn't kidding when I suggested Villar wants to be the "Pierre Lassonde of the Philippines", and TVI is his "Franco-Nevada" vehicle to do that.
We're almost at the point in the mining-resource cycle where a company has to decide :
acquirer or acquired ?
TVI has to make that decision. This suggests Villar sees TVI as a perfect acquisition vehicle and thus the decision has been made.
