"Cliffs could be working our market to keep the competition (NOT) SP low. They can't buy us cheap, they can't have our FNs connections, so what else to do but to kill the competition."

Well that process could just strengthen the real competition, in terms of major players, in their desire to take out NOT which is the real jewel.....and that would finish CLF. CLF as far as Cr is concerned is really redundant as there is plenty of it around outside their holding. NOT to date is the one-stop-shop. The rest are just playing poker trying to finesse their positions.
