I guess Eric believes enough in his moly picks to buy back some shares, (ttm is in the moly fund). It is rediculous as not only does his corp hold shares of moly companies it also holds physical moly which hit 40 bucks. Yesterdays close was $3.20 and the NAV is $5.12. Those with lots of cash willing to take risk in these markets eventually come out rich.
