RE:dear kinross , BUYBACK SHARES NOW !Regrettably, you have no idea what you are proposing. Why should Kinross buy back its own shares? Just to increase the price of the shares you hold? Have you any idea what this costs the company and what a waste of capital it is to buy back its own shares? Just to raise the price for share holders? This is a stupid proposition, so stand down and sell, and go home. Hav you any idea about the history of this company? Any idea who the directors are? Check it out. The company is one of the oldest in this business - its directors are 5-star rated executives who do not need to boost the value of the company's shares by reducing the float. They are veterans of the mining business and millionaires many times over. They do not need to manipulate the value of the shares, as you have suggested. So, please stand down, go home, sell your shares and watch Cramer on TV, and buy something like Amazon or Facebook - you will be in good company - 'till the drop comes. Otherwise, be grateul you have found a veteran of the mining business, with a 5-star Board of Directors, and a portfolio of world-class assets and a billion dollars in cash. Peace and prosperity.
