Hi Askari, maybe a take over offer might not be a bad thing even for the true believers? IDC has thrown up quite a few surprises already so who knows, it could happen though personally I think it's unlikely. IDC looks to be a reasonable bet for short term trading ,it certainly owes me nothing, but ,to date hasn't performed for the long termers, I'll continue to dabble in it though I'm concerned about the prospects for the GP. I think gold is likely to fall back to its long term trend line which makes me quite nervous. Fortunately for the true believers their faith will,no doubt, carry them through. Best of luck to all ,whatever their opinions!
