I don't own shares, but was so close to buying in after a tip from a "mate"
i too have never seen anything like this on hot copper before, the amount of scorned holders and ex holders hanging out.
Guys buying now don't seem to understand how much more money it will take to become a producer, the stupid Gekko is still laying as parts, and it's money they don't have as they keep issuing shares to pay off debt.
Then they will do a consolidation and the cycle repeats.
Then somehow people see shares below 1c and think this is a great buy in price, about to be a producer!!
yeh, but will they ever make any money? It's one thing to dig gold out, it's another to MAKE MONEY from the process.
