Been on quite a few threads in my three years with HC and interesting how they differ in character depending on the main posters. You guys can read through your posts above to discern where I might position this one.

Anyway here's a chart showing AOH vs CDU (black), ABY (brown) and TGS (green) over the past 12 months..

and over three years...

Some of you guys need to take a break from your screen and/or have enough other stocks or pastimes to interest you IMO.

These negotiations were likely to be tough. Communications aren't always possible on progress. The economies are there for AOH and Xstrata to do a great deal if both parties are reasonable. If they're not, then I would want to know where it broke down. Even then, MMG or SOL could becomes players.

Can be frustrating to see peers advance while we should be the ones doing the moving. Market is imperfect over short time periods. This puppy has the goods to be re-rated one way or the other over the next few months IMO.

Patience until Christmas and good luck all holders
