This is what I've been wondering and spoke to when questioning how so many top tier scientists could have been so wrong.
Decisions were made and I'd like to understand what some of the choices were built upon as the powers in charge made their final selections.
By the way, I've lost just $3,000 or so on HDYN, so I decided when buying in that I'd go down with the ship if things should go that way.
I'm not sorry as I believe I owe my allegiance to the memory of Bob and Neil. My true regret is for the people of Guinea and the beautiful intentions behind the blending of SCS's asset with (then) HDY.
Questions remain as you say. I expect we'll soon have answers.
