RE:RE:In Zambia, the drought has impacted 9.8 million people. “It's getting beyond tiresome listening to you(or should I say, seeing you post daily.(sic)”
It has been apparent for some time that the simple act of ignoring my posts using the ignore button fails to do what some of these book-burning censors truly wish to accomplish, namely to prevent ANYONE from reading the actual reports from the region, and that desire is based IMO purely on their resentment that ANYONE who would point out the tremendous challenges facing mining operations in southern Africa.
"I'm pretty sure all of us here, or at least most of us, know how to manage risk for stocks such as this."
Say, that's really good news, however I wonder why with "all of us here", knowing how to manage risk as you say; not one of you here has offered the slightest bit of information on how exactly Ivanhoe intends to manage the loss of Zesco electricity. Seems to me that the quickest, most reliable means of putting this issue to bed is to simply report on how the shortfall in Zambian electricity will be supplemented. However, some seem to think that by insulting and ridiculing the board member, that will make all the bad news go away.
“Maybe you need to volunteer at the local foodbank to see were (sic) your persuasiveness might be of better use to society.”
Maybe you should mind your own damned business. Maybe you don’t know any more about my activities than you know Ivanhoe’s prospects of continuing operations this summer. I don’t have to explain or justify my interest in Ivanhoe, First Quantum, or any other miner who finds their source of electricity threatened or reduced.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t really about Ivanhoe although that would seem to be all that some consider important. I know very little about Ivanhoe as an enterprise, its operations, finance, board, recovery rates, or grade of ore, etc. etc. Why? Because it would be just plain foolish to DD a stock I would NEVER EVER buy. It isn’t about Ivanhoe although some consider it the center of the Universe. No, this is just about the ongoing crisis in that region.
My interest was initially about ANY southern copper miner facing power shortages as I have financial interests in the copper sector and understand that the likelihood of falling production in southern Africa will have a substantial impact on total global production and therefore copper prices paid to mines still operating.
I would like to point out that the posts you find so objectionable are cut and paste actual news reports from the region and invariably include a link to that source so that each reader including you can read the report for themselves – if they wish.
