on a stock that demonstrates value by indications from what is found in the ground is one thing. To speculate on what a potential bidding company might do, that isn't on the scene, hasn't shown up, is nameless, based on what you think they might do, who ever they might be, through the transference of what you think they should do, given the incredible number of variables in the market today, to say nothing of what said company might already have on it's plate, is dreaming and most certainly risky. As long as one knows that then I guess one is fine with that risk. I most certainly wouldn't want to be holding a company that refused the offers and no one else came to bid, particularly when it holds a mineral that no one else seems to know what to do with.
