RE:CEO of Copper Mountain should be fired You don't like the fact that they locked in a good amount of this year's production at $4.00. I was thinking that the CEO may deserve a bonus if he had to sign off on that decision. I personally think that the company will do just fine in the 3rd and 4th quarter. There will be a little drag on second quarter results, in my opinion, since I think the shaft repair wasn't complete until April.
