:)Gold going up up up up up up up up Beg somebody tells me what happens if one company buys another, Xstrata is looking to acquire Lonmin will it's share price increase even more?Or does it depend on potential debt that the company has? It says they are the worlds third largest producer of Platinum Group Metals.

you still holding xta?

[Captain Planet]

yhI'm seeing decent growth, saw through a little secondary/small downtrend but after that it's been growing steadily for the past week pretty well, I assume it's due to metals. I'm pretty confident it will get close to its pre-financial markets collapse prices.At the same time I'm holding out for them to purchase Lonmin, should do me some favours aswell as they will be competing in another commodity market that is growing in price as we speak, platinum I think.Something spooked the bulls at 11 am today though ,I wonder what it was.

[Captain Planet]

ah thats the word. correction

[Doom]

Careful with xta, im expecting a retrace soon. Not to convinced with 'merger of equals' for Lonmin either, although i dont fully understand what effect this will have on the share price tbh.
