I only hold PLS, but just to explain my interest in Mineral Resources, I feel we should try to learn from the experiences of other companies. I am not a fan of Ellison who believes that if you can borrow money at 8 or 9% when you can make 20% on it is the way to go. I note they have just borrowed one billion dollars from the US at 8.5%. I roughly calculate that puts them in net debt of around $1.7 billion. I have a belief that borrowing to buy shares is a no-no and companies should also avoid debt.
This is a good read for those still contemplating downstreaming PLS

At the end:Ellison yesterday reiterated his call that operating in China was too expensive for foreign companies, saying MinRes was getting better margins toll treating at under-utilised plants over there than owning its own downstream.
I recall Pilbara Minerals sent 15,000 tonnes of spodume for conversion to hydroxide early this year under a tolling agreement but we still haven’t been advised of the result. I can only assume the result was not good.
