Nickel is probably the best of all the metal commodities. The market is very tight. Good margins forcast. Voisey's Bay is going to come on stream this year. Will be low cost and a major increase in nickel production. Also just finishing the Gerau project. Not just a cyclical play, but a growth play. Good price.

If he owned, he would probably hang on until the outcome became clear and then he would get out and would not except shares from the acquiring company.
There may be a little bit more fight left in both bidders to push the price up but not sure it would be much of a gain. Would prefer going into a mid-sized company such as First Quantum (FM-T) or Anvil Mining (AVM-T).
