Dear Plext & Wassa - If you don't want to contribute constructively just keep quiet. One would otherwise have to question your motivations?
Gross generalisations of risk (i.e. Wassa's post) and "investing is risky" don't help a great deal either.
Beconstructive,
I was being constructive and I wasn't generalising. The 3 issues I raised in regard to your bear case scenario would be some of the most severe that could affect a companies performance.
Mine fall in. God forbid a fatality. Enviromental Disaster.
Maybe you was expecting something a little softer like coffee machine out of order.
Clearly you have a limited knowledge of mining if you're asking these questions....so it may prove beneficial to listen rather than be dismissive.
It might also prove beneficial to understand the business risk prior to investing rather than later.
