commodities going berzek, page-35

"I didn't buy in early...I bought in during prehistory."

At the time you thought you bought in early, you have made this statement in hindsight which one day @hoaxthenerd2 may also use. So my point still holds true.
Remember, back then it was advanced to BFS. A lot further developed than we are today

"Unfortunately, in the time it took to work through these cases, both the tin and iron ore prices declined to uneconomic levels, and with it went the share price."

And there the SP remains even though the price of Sn is at near record levels. So your argument that the SP follows the price of the commodity doesn't always hold true. So why is the SP in this dog not doing so well?
"In any case, the principle of buying early and holding is not in any way contradicted by an exception to the rule."
True. So, I'll say why in one word that many on here echo. Management which affected sentiment. Of coarse you may have a better explanation which I'd love to hear.

Can we move on from IO being on the rise. The rampers on here have banged that drum repetitively. It's boring. not going to happen for a long time.

IO 58% is @ $100. Hardly moved this month. It may move up because of the conflict but in the same token oil is at multi year highs and may increase a lot more. With that, up goes shipping which is already at a seventeen week high (2-11-21). Climbing fast - Today the BSI is 2845, climbed over 4% yesterday and is way over the previous long term average of 850 when the DFS was done.
