Lots of Buying Opportunities in 2009There is going to be lots of buying opportunities for BTCthis year if they choose to. As far as I'm concerned forget the share buyback.I think they still have 2 million left but way too many companies with niceproperties looking for money.
Liberty Mines comes to mind and they are trading at peanuts and they have twovery nice nickel properties. The market cap is at 4.8 million. They need cashor else they are done. This is just one of many companies struggling lookingfor cash.
Cash is going to be king this year and BTC has lots of it. Call me crazy but Iwould just shut down the exploration except for the best project and focus ontaking up positions in depressed mining companies like Coro with good looking properties butdesperate for cash. Basically turn BTC into a holding company. The only risk isthat if the price of metals don't rebound in 2010 then all the investments willbe worth less or the same. If the price of metals do rebound then the risk will pay offin huge dividends.
