Well, what a smorgasbord of views we have on whether SD should or does withhold information. I'm 100% in the camp that he should and must play his cards carefully. He has inadvertently played one already when he offered $85m for the 5% - that really is a stake in the ground (and infers several other things...). Obviously he didn't know Newmount were going to bid for NCM, or did he?
My personal view is that the deal to takeover NCM will be announced just after Easter. Why? because these corporate types like to get on and do things, i.e. deliver, get the NCM profits on their books....
Secondly I really do think Newmont will dispose of the Hav70% - why? as others have noted, it's too small for them to have to worry about, or is it?
