Call me naive, but even mentioning SC with the S. American properties still leaves me optimistic on our future > Teck has been good for Canada, and Canada for Teck.

And please, don't confuse my optimisim with something happening soon - I made a prediction of a buy-out several years ago when many of us longs were having a rollicking good time enjoying the sp and predicting when and how much our shares would garner.
