Why I like Newmont better than Rio?Rio is like a monolith which is too big for its own good. It's an enigma. It's like a headless chicken running around in circles across the butcher's floor. Newmont is much more structured. You have Palmer, the commander in chief, and a clear rank and file under him. Much easier too make sound decisions with a clear structure. My hope is that Newmont will in time make a run at Casino and jostle with Rio. Let the best man win.
