You think you can just acquire $10 Billion and there will not be any negative repercussions ............................... Of course not, unless you wish to deny the facts.
Just have a look at the annual returns of the big 3. They are higher year on year. STRONGER FOR LONGER. Have a look at the returns of the big whinger Fortescue.
"Fortescue Metals Group has delivered a 14 per cent rise in full-year net profit on the back of increased iron ore production and prices. The rise is due to its Pilbara iron ore mines, railways and ports entering their third year of production. Net earnings rose from $US508 million ($562m) to $US581m"
