RE:so why internationals?Not sure you follow. Owned this for about a year. Got in near the lows, already up. Same with TUS, it was about 15 cents a year ago....based near there for a long time so I bought in. It is at 44 cents now. Will be a triple at 45 cents. HMB trying to sell down their metals mining postions and focus on oil and gas. In oil and gas they are trying to shed small names and focus on large international to try and de-risk the portfolio while maintaining upside potential. Just cash and publically traded securities should provide a NAV close to a double from here.
