Glen, an interesting analogy you've provided here....
By contrast, in JADA's favor it would seem, if Controller119 at Yahoo has accurately sleuthed out just how much JADA is getting per ton for its jadeite, the amount is incrementally going UP each qrtr and their margins are getting better, not worse, unlike the case in your analogy of the guy who owns everything connected with the airline and he starts driving up the price of oil, worsening the airline's margins.
But let's see how this all shakes down with JADA.... I think Zhang's goal for JADA is to create the most (or one of the most) lucrative jade operations in the world.
Thanks for your post.
