lol.. yes it is. BHP pays regular divis and have mines that will last decades. ALK has a mine that may shut (or at best not start UG production at Roswell in Apr) if they don't get their approval in the next few weeks because they left it for the last minute to complete the work needed to apply for such.


and now under-promise and overdeliver is a good thing apparently - the high priest with big words said it himself. but in any corporation, it is a failure actually as you will be seen as unable to forecast correctly or deliberately producing misleading forecasts.

Plus - a question for the chum with big words - if ALK always under-promise but always overdeliver - how do you explain the budget blowout with the TGO expansion?? ohh I know... they probably reported (but we all missed.. I will have to check again reports and random you-tube interviews) that they will blow the budget by $200m and only blew it by ~$40m. So this is how they overdeliver? They should deal themselves bonuses this year.
