You are quite right Hanrahan. I was off the mark.

However when BSG and PJO were placed in a trading halt, and taking into account the wording of the announcement requesting a trading halt, of course a merger between PJO and BSG looked the obvious option.

I missed the third party - Coeur.

I am not stopping you and others from having a "bit of a b!tch". Have a "bit of a b!tch" as often as you want.

But when it comes to assessing companies, and their relative merits, I am quite prepared to trust my analytical judgement.

I have been spending hours reading up on Coeur ... the more I read and understand about Coeur the more merit I can see in the "merger".

That is not to say at this stage I have made a firm decision one way or the other.
