swan blocks chinese takeover of oz mine, page-78

AJ

IMO Swan's decision to place a barrier in the way of the MinMetals offer excites many lines of thought:
. Is Swan the dill many allege he is or is he really an inspirational example of Aussie manhood in all its glory?
. What does it indicate re the integrity of OZL's management, the merger documentation & that of its recent auditors - is a corollary that shareholders been mislead into thinking OZL is worthless?
. Who really stands to benefit from the sale of OZL?
. Is the consortium of OZL's banks so stupid that they would opt for a fire sale that would take ages to complete & add to risk levels? [recent global experience renders this a no-brainer].
. Given that since OZL's last reports to shareholders that base metals prices have risen 20% [not the least of which have been zinc & copper] has OZL's bottom line improved?
. If OZL's bottom line has not improved in recent time why not?
. Also given the rise in the $Aud-$US hasn't OZL's indebtedness in fact reduced?
. Who really still thinks Woomera amounts to anything at all or does the Govt. have plans for it in the future?
. Would OZL be a good company in which to entrust our national security - given their recent public record?
. To which other mining company would you entrust our national security?
. In the Year of the Ox would you trust a tiger?.
