re: $1.58 - thanks to hotcopper PMA have the only V mine in the world. Lots of V comes from byproducts. As far as i am concerned I think Xstrata own the V market and probably control it to some extent. I think the barriers to any new mine starting up are too high so I would not be too concerned about any new mines being commissioned.
I am long PMA and hansomely in front after a long period of being deeply in the red.
I would be interested in getting access to the ongoing price of V but it is hard to get info.

PMA
