There is an old truth about comparing apples with apples and not comparing apples with oranges.

IMHO trying to compare NOT to Cliffs is in the latter category.

Many of us, myself included, did not want to hold Cliffs (American) stock. Those that were smart enough did just that and are now reaping the rewards. (way to go Irish)

I have had the sense throughout this entire debate and fight over FWR that people fall in love with a company or a CEO or personalities and forget that they are in this to make money.

It was clear from the beginning that NOT was no match for Cliffs and yet many of us clung to NOT as if we were married to them.

There was some conjecture on here that Cliffs was overvalued and anyone left holding their stock would come up on the short end of the stick.

This is where the apples and oranges come in. We are playing around with very risky junior explorers and trying to compare that to a well established profitable copmpany like Cliffs. Cliffs management has forgotten more about the mining game than most juniors knew in the first place.

Lets get our apples and oranges straight.
