whether you look at it from a defensive move or offensive strike, both would fit Glencore to buy Not in the near future. In both ways it would benefit immensly, no matter how you look at it. Do they have more to loose than to gain, or more to gain than to loose. If just another bidder pops up, we will know in an instance. Protect the marketposition (Bushveld) and the dominance in more than one metal or is it moving ahead and capitalise on knowledge and given marketposition.... Both fit the Bill, you do Not see that too often. Like Cliffs had none of the two, but moved in. Timing is everything........
