non-cash writeoff are charged against the 2012 full yr earnings which means less tax!!
If alcan and mozambique coal things are bad trades, the board has decided to cut the losses which is always a good thing - clean slate. We all should know that!

Albanese had it coming and I am really happy for RIO's future earnings. The best part is the black swan event for Feb 14 is now exposed. If Iron ore prices sustain 140 level, RIO is on the road to high 60 again.
