I think any "premium" talk from certain posters should be deleted under the repetition rule as the contention has been dismantled and dismissed sooooo many times now with no rebuttals from these repetitious posters. JMHO

=================

The same could go for many posters. There are only so many topics to discuss it is inevitable they will come up over and over (and they do on a daily basis). Because you don't like my opinion isn't reason for the board to be edited to meet your approval. People are going to see things differently and thats something you need to deal with.

To think contrary opinion is of no value is ridiculous! If you had gotten things right in the past, you may have a leg to stand on - but your track record on predicting what is going to happen is just as bad as everyone else's.

I can't ever remember that your opinion that SP premium is not a consideration being proven ever, let alone the opposite being "dismantled and dismissed sooooo many times now"? I think you assign way to much weight to your opinions.

To say that Teck could care less about what the market thinks about aquisitions doesn't hold water.

These are all publicly traded companies and to dismiss the fact that optics are a big consideration in any deal is your right to believe, but hardly proof of your point. Especially considering their current junk status and low SP.

I think market approval is key for them right now IMHO, but you are welcome to believe whatever you want - just don't confuse opinion with fact...
