When I was investigating Newcrest - it was a worry to me that they loved south east asia so much. As soon as Kingsgate diversified contries, regions, and metals - i though - Yes please! ill take that for under $6 per share - id ont care how much capital your raising. Remember Newcrest are a multi mine company, the loss of 50% of one mine may hurt - but I dont see it breaking the company down beyond repair like such a thing would do to some small/mid cap guys. My buy price for NCM is $32 - call me crazy but im not really worried.
Multiple mines don't seem to carry as much weight these days. I sold a third of mine into to the rally to $40 some time back so haven't been to worried about them either but the latest news is of a concern but I figure it should give them capital to redirect elsewhere at least.

Hathaway is always good to listen, calm rationale, and he makes some good points but the failed break out to 1800 that last time hurt a fair bit. Hopefully it is a higher low though.
