Buy out potential rests with gold pricesI highly doubt, no matter what Don says, that any other company will bid on this.
Why would they? They would have to go up against G and are not likely to be successful and may cause harm to their stock price and/or future dealings with G.
However, I still think it will be sold but not because of someone else making an offer first.
What will drive this deal is a solid estimate result and the continued climb of gold. The higher gold goes, the more money G will have to pay. Sooner or later they are going to need to pull the trigger as gold does not seem to be in any mood to stop its bull market.
