That's good advice. I'd go one step further and study the history of mining in this country. Not of the actual digging itself, but of the process leading up to the digging. Most of the history tends to focus on how long a mine was open and how much they pulled out. That's too bad - but the info is out there.
People that don't look at the past tend to think the process is too adversarial, everything should be calm and gentlemanly. It never was before, why should it be different now? It's as competitive as pro football and the rules are more defined. The day after the Superbowl is there ever an outcry to make the sport non-contact? Does anyone worry about the guys getting tackled having hurt feelings? Think of this process the same way and remember the process has been around longer than football.
Every player in this thing; from the Board, to the DRMS, to the company, have worked with this stuff for decades. They aren't about to pull punches or explain things, so the new spectators can follow along.
I've learned a lot about the mining process following this stock. The difference between this and football is in mining the game is over when everyone wins - the company makes money and the State gets their cut. It's kind of fun. Just wish the cheerleaders didn't have so much razor stubble.
