RE: My opinion I have not posted for a long time and as a long on MPV [9 years] I am always surprised to see the ever increasing estimates for the buy out. When arriving at the number of $12.00 have you allowed for the fact that DeBeers will already own 60% of what is in the ground? of course I would be delighted to take $12.00 but I just do not see it going that high, even with three of my country men doing all the talking.
