I think what people are thinking when they talk of "nationalize" in regards to KRY is somehow taking control of the mining assets (the capitalist's means of production!). The desks and chairs in the Toronto offices of KRY, while having value, it's not the bread and butter that will make this a billion dollar company. Turning gold ore into gold bars is!
Remember, when Vz turned on the Oil Companies they sent their national guard to the oil platforms... I think that's the Vz discount people think about.
Before that happens... I'll be LONG gone!
