RE:Swimming pools / horrendous / longtermtoGreat post AAA-SG!
While some shareholders are running for the door the smart money question is who is buying the stock now and who is holding their position??
I can't help but feel that some of the slide in stock price is from high frequency/wash trades preying on fear!
While environmentally this is a big challenge so was Mt St Helens when it erupted in 1980. The earth is resilient and with the aid of a vigilant clean up the water systems effected will be back to normal in no time.
Everyone person that benefits from the use of copper (ie. electricity users, water users) and gold (jewelry, electronics) has a hand in directly or indirectly making these mines feasible and real. Don't be too quick to condemn them or their directors/shareholders or you should consider doing without the minerals (and benefits) that they extract.
Good luck to all impacted by this disaster and shareholders.
