On average how well do Brtish posters understand junior mining companies and the exploration industry? Britain has an impressive domestic mining history and there are some big multi-national mining companies that are either British or have some British roots but our mining industry declined which may have had an impact on the junior companies domestically and knowledge of them in general and generally - but not always, investor knowledge.
Was the mining industry in recent decades better retained in North America and Australia? I did read that during the gold boom of approximately 170 years ago for which Ballarat is relevant, some people with mining knowledge and relevant work capacity left Britain for Australia, perhaps that trend continued in later decades of the last century and early parts of this millenium? and not just limited to Australia.
There might be some revival of Britain's mining industry, inclusive of the need for metals for clean technology and energy but we will have to wait and see.
In the meantime is it not possible, that on average, posters on other forums - from other countries might know more about exploration aspects of junior mining companies than some of us and that might almost - be to do with investing culture and fairly recent history. I don't think an opinion to far away from that, if held by News, means that he thinks any of us on UK forums are stupid, he seems to find that part of investing very interesting which might mean he knows more about a subject of interest than some others. He knows more on that subjest than me, does that alone make me stupid? No, do I think he has said so? No, could I reasonably say by paraphrasing that he has? No.
If someone was to split the word such that it was para phrasing, could that be a joke aspect, responding to the con emphasis reinterpreting context by someone else? Yes.
With the emphasis on "could"...
