RE:Up 900% today!This is a dream come true for you Alf. Most here warned of the downside risk to this consolidation yet you cried "bonehead" over management's reluctance to do it. Now, you are disappointed that the market has taken a negative view of this move.
I submit that if ever there was an opportunity to implement a consolidation, this moment may offer less downside risk than any time in the past 3 years: zinc demand is high as reflected in the price of refined product; demand should continue to be strong for the next 3-5 years as infrastructure dollars get spent; automakers need to respond to growing demand for EVs as gasoline prices increase and tax credit incentives remain attractive for consumers.
I hope that the downturn, resulting from the consolidation is short-lived. Are you buying Alf? Is that why you've been banging the table for this consolidation, to create a buying opportunity?
