Hi Alex,
YES!! I agree 100%!
There is a problem however. I tried to promote this sort of idea many years back, through forums, by phone and at conferences. The miners have NO INTEREST. Their position is that they are in the business of mining ounces – period. The price is what it is.
My feeling is that their real interest is in their salary and stock options and that they ally more with the bankers than their shareholders.
There was one exception to all those I spoke with – Rob McEwen.
