Should've, Could've, & Would've
Good Afternoon All,
It is one of those gray days that Seattle is known for. Just the right mix of temp and mosture to make every once broken bone on my right side to just ache. Wife is having IT fights with the office. Don't know if the IT guy can figure it from the office. I get my second shot next week. So I am happy. I get to see the grandkids at the end of the month. They have not seen me or the wife for a year.
Should've: They say that hindsight is 20 20. If Ucore had to do it over again, they should have made that 60/40 deal with IBC but have included the option to buy as part of the deal. You want the deal you live with the option to buy.
Could've: Got MRT up and running first with the oil sands and then with coal at commerial scale.
Would've: Got MRT as the standard for REE separation. But everybody got too greedy and as the old saying goes. Part of nothing is still nothing.
Now, we all have read the court papers on IBC and Ucore court fight. Maybe Ucore would have never got Steve to agree to any type of option to sell in the 40/60 deal. But they did get him to agree to a option to sell twice, but as we know he had no intentions of honoring the option deal.
So going forward what can we expect? Will the state of Alaska fund the SMC in Ketchikan? There is a lot of political will to get this done. From the governor to the federal senators to state congress to get this done. You guys every hear about the bridge to nowhere up in Alaska? The state is angling for federal money to make this happen.
So open question, what happen to the stock price if they announance that AIDEA is funding Ucore's SMC? Will they announance the test results before the funding PR or after? Which would make the most pop on the stock price? Could it pop to as high as ten dollars a share? If it is at ten what do you do? Sell out, buy more or ride it out?
Salmon for dinner, so you all have a great weekend.
Dragon

SO naive, separation is but one stage of a complex process, and only 20/25% of total cost base, it is a very, very long way from being a "business". In over a decade Ucore never looked likely, AIDEA is NOT a charity, they will still require a valid business plan in a formal document, BFS or similar, Ucore not remotely close.
