RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:MPVD , PE, DD, my takeMacleod1, usually your posts are pretty good, but this one about hanging on for 18 years falls below your customary high standard. The marketplace, De Beers, and the institutional shareholders couldn't care less that you've been hanging in there for 18 years. I've been "hanging on" for a paltry five years, have an average cost of about $4.50, and would gladly accept $6.50. MPVD is pretty much a pure commodity (diamond) play, and we have to take what the market gives us.
