That said the "CR after the quantum leap" philosophy, where TAM tries to disguise that it isnt in need of money, and is actually "making money at western operations" is a tired model and the market has woken up!!!

I think it is optimistic at best to expect any "significant" re-rating, both short and long-term until such time as TAM takes the "medicine" and strengthens its balance sheet to a point where it isn't backed into corners.

My view is that the ABM stake was a least worth double, so management should have a finger pointed at them.

Good deposit groundrush +bleeding money at coyote - Still $20m of debt = tough trading conditions.

On the plant Scorp, TAM has no other option than to invite ABM and old pirate in - given Western is bleeding, they really are not coming from a position of strength??? Expect a cooperative agreement.
