I would expect nothing less...

Do you want to know how a mining analyst who demands the utmost in not only resource and operational quality, but also integrity and social responsibility in the companies he covers and recommends goes about his business?

This is how he goes about his business:

  1. Hi Gary: I think it's regrettable that an otherwise fine company would "hide" the fact that a worker died, but I don't see a reason to sell my 4K shares. One of IKN's commenters did, but I don't think Otto would.

  2. I agree. I am not implying people should sell based on this. But I do respect Otto's POV. Mining is a difficult industry however, and a lot of miners are bumbling fools. It is just disappointing to see a respectable one mis-step this way. I hope they have not outgrown their britches.

    I took my small profit on it this morning and moved on. But only because I have other silver alternatives - incl. SLW, which I like better.

  3. I agree with the basic principle but everyone knows "business" for the MOST PART has no morals which is why morality and reasons to "buy" or "sell" should be kept apart.

    1. I learned that very lesson in the mid 90's when I first started 'investing' with a financial adviser. We selected 'socially responsible' mutual funds. Mistake.

      Yet at the time, I have found that more often than not quality people run quality investment vehicles and scumbags run well, scummy ones.
