hightrax,
When a billionaire is very sick he is not going to care about his assets. CMR is sick, the 2nd largest resource in the world is of no use if it can't get cash to stay alive. Cash flow is important to CMR and until the market knows when the cash is rolling in, the market is going to assume the worst. It is not in the interest of HNC to bail CMR out. And I think you know why.
