F451 - you said "all things being equal and Wyloo and BHP offering the same offer"
I haven't been invested NOT as long as some of you here, but I've been in long enough to have averaged down a little over the years and I'm now in the black. With Wyloo's overtures re: continued ownership, I even picked up a few more shares over the summer. The ROF has such huge potential. Sure there are obstacles, but this is Canada and we are learning to do better on all fronts, including with the FN's - it might be slow, but we'll get there.
For the "same offer", I would probably go with Twiggy, I like his recognition of the FN's and I think his green message will sell well.
Unfortunately, the offers aren't the same, and Wyloo's proposed loan structure and possible future dilution concern me. If Wyloo wins, I may keep half and see how the ride goes.
I used to enjoy a good roller coaster, and The Great Canadian Mine Buster at Canada's Wonderland was one of my favourites. Maybe the New NOT will bring back some fond memories...
