Boy, am I glad I made that post before today's open. Your experience is similar to mine. There were a number of posters to FWR and NOT who were personally attacked continually for even suggesting CLF would take out FWR prior to CLF's offer. That was despite CLF clearly having shown its hand to both FWR and NOT. Yeh, that is weird, we are only here to make money. Those types of organised attacks are generally orchestrated, which is actually more Agoracom's problem because so many serious investors/contributors simply walk.
I am currently keeping an eye on FPX, another strategic alliance CLF has made. If they find enough of that heavy nickel/iron, and it looks all open pit, I'd say CLF could make a bucket on it. CLF seems to keep coming up with significant growth projects the average guy has not heard of. Please share what you stimble on.
