RE: RE: budget cuts
RE: RE: budget cutsbottom line it that teck has way overpaid for the fording assets. and taken on huge amounts of debt to do it. Fording is a great, with great assets. But the units would be trading in the 30-40 range right now because steel production has dropped substanially in the east, you just have to look at every coal stock on the market .. they are down 60-80% from the highs. The shipping index is down 90%. It looks like the resource cycle is dead for the moment, I still believe it will be back in a year or two, but in a bear market you will be surprized how low stocks go.. Way to much debt for me. 9 billion or so and the market cap is 4.5billion.
