Dan you are right about DeBeers in a way. DeBeers cannot afford their largest customers (The USA) to see them in any "Bad" light. So they will do what is legal to acquire all the diamonds possible.....do what they did in Africa when they first started.....find them first...and buy up all the small companies...and those that do not sell...offer them a part of DeBeers. Canada is no different than Africa...is makes great business sense. ****Now, logic here shows that the stocks should of went up and kept up when the News about the Ukraine was release....and since it started that way and came down.....who has enough money to do so and cause "US" who hold at least 12-20 percent of the available shares to sell out at the lowest possible prices so they can buy? Think about it...who wants your stock for pennies and has enough money and man power to make it happen?
