I note part of your initial comment where you said;
"Unfortunately the testing we conducted prior to launch did not predict what would occur in the real environment"...
This happens all too often in the business world. That is why Analysts get things wrong so often because they are too busy looking at the theoretical details and overlook the reality. Probably why they end up working for someone else on a wage, and never venture out on their own where the real wealth is made.
So please remember folks...when some fresh kid straight out of uni who has just landed his frst paying job at Morgan Stanley (and is struggling to pay his rent) comes out with a statement that China has fizzled out and iron ore has become irrelevant.....take all this with a grain of ssalt before you dump all your iron ore stocks.....
The theoretical situation is seldom like the real one!
