PRB is being manipulated via small volume as most investors are hanging on tight to their shares..... If PRB was to divide into 2 companies some may sell the asset they have les confidence in than the other.... thus undervalueing that asset and potentially making an oportunistic bid possible.

Spitting the company would necissitate a financing in one of those companies... and as such would lead to instiutional pressure to fund at a low price... they do this all the time!

The best stratagy is to wait till the 43 101 is done on the chromite and see if it attracts either Cliffs, Xstrata or someone else to the table. If this asset was left on its own in its own company the share price would likely drift very low as FWR did prior to the buyout offer... $ .15 Thus investors could get tired of holding and capitulate and making this asset extremely undervalued.

The present situation allows for minimal downside risk as PRB collectively has multiple irons in the fire, any one of which could be offered to be aquired. There have been many speculative statements to that effect which I need not repeat.

Dave has a plan, and we are in it!

He has more stock than most investors here and thus his motives and game plan are alligned with ours.
