Not much changes with respect to KRY sp unless the deal is announced (and even then I would be suspect)...
That's what worries me. As some smart people on this board have stated....institutions won't touch this below 5 bucks (and maybe not even then given the Venezuelan factor).....the big risk taking players (Tradewinds, etc. have already established their positions)....and the retail investors are already levered up (and mostly underwater) or have left the stock market completely.
So...one could ask the question....who is going to make this shareprice go ballistic when we receive news (assuming it is "all good")? Certainly not any agent of the CRRC. They will be trying to suppress the price if anything.
It could be that it might take much longer than expected for the market to recognize any sense of parity with what the "true value" of our asset actually is (helped by a skyrocketing gold price, a changing Vz. political\economic climate, etc.). In the meantime, we can all rest assured that ongoing shareprice manipulation will be part of a sensible, balanced shareholder diet.
