"Meanwhile, the Ring of Fire remains the same desolate, mosquito-infested swamp it was six years ago. Cliffs has thrown in the towel for the time being."

This is what you call flogging the dead horse. There won't be many left standing around to watch it mystically rise from "swamp" to suddenly, actually be worth something. This is where they squeeze the last out of the faint of heart to grab every share they can.....and then a period of flat lining. This is where all those who wanted into NOT when it was a baby get a second chance on something that will have been pretty much de-risked. Can you feel the despair, confusion, isolation and the endless sea of burocracy and red tape. I say it's enough to make an investor throw up his/her hands and sell the rest of their ROF shares and move to something more profitable.

Exactly!

If you haven't sold your shares by now, I couldn't tell you if there could be any value doing it. I just hope that it is manipulated into achieving a large sp for all of those who have suffered through this.
