RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Gold...Nobody denies that there is somewhat of a risk premium in West Africa. Is it fair, or accurate? Hmmm , Kinross, and others figured Russia was a pretty good bet, and it was for years and years. And I read more and more about possible civil war, a coup basically, in America, supposedly the safest place of all. My point is that all miners face all kinds of risk premiums of all sorts, everywhere. But , yes the perception of many is that W Africa is riskier. But does that matter to EDV? EDV is almost entirely owned by insiders and funds. The funds are not W Africa specific. And the funds would look at the situation in W Africa and conclude that yes some countries are a little shaky , government wise, but they have been forever, and it has never affected the mining operations, and there is no reason to believe anything happening now would. And yes there is a terrorist problem, mostly because of French actions, or inaction, but it is mostly under control. AS far as the latest coup in BF, looks to me that the new guy is better than the old guy. And the probabilty is high things will go 'normal' soon. And yes anything can happen, and maybe some retail investors would worry about that, but for sure the insiders and funds go with what is most probable.
