Nevada Copper (NCU.to): The raising of the dead

The news today that Nevada Copper (NCU.to) is raising $80m by selling 133.3m shares at 60c apiece is mere confirmation that this stock is stone dead as a reasonable equity to play the copper market. Killed by Pala, Red Kite and Orion when they restructured the company last year (in order to get some of their own deep bagholder money out), this deal is for suckers only because no matter how high copper might fly in the months to come, this stock price isn’t going anywhere.
Anuhow, here’s the term sheet. Notice how many houses will be phoning their “special clients” in order to grab their slice of the $1.6m commish. TY UG.
