pesquero claimed ore price dropped from 110 to 80
Post# of 8054
he also said part of this was Bao discount due to low iron and high sulpher? Which again contradicts all previous non basher info/ modality we've had- but again that would be normally be known before ship sailed and thus part of the usual price set BEFORE sailing-absent any averaging of spot at time of sailing and landing.
couldnt get a better chart to appear but there is nothing in the historical record to indicate price could've dropped more than ca 10/ton during the usual ca 22 day Ilia transit time.
Is Brad saying he paid Bob for the Ilia ore- something I've never heard of- I've understood the lawsuit against port was not won until AFTER Bob sold- otherwise Bob would not have had to sell for financial reasons.
And you're saying Brad paid Bob for Ilia ore- this violates everything i understand- Ilia contract could not even be made until port lawsuit was won- AFTER Bob sold-
and at a price set at time of sailing- and that Brad got paid by Bao at a price extant when Ilia landed in China??/
because that would violate everything I've heard or understand and common sense.
I'm well aware co's often AVERAGE price at time of sailing and landing- but such differential as per historical sources could not have been much more than 10/ton.
We all know Chinese are very exacting and from what we've seen before in pics and dd test ore at dock before ship even sails- we've seen pics of Chinese -apparently Bao- doing so at the port - so ore percentages should've been known to both parties BEFORE sailing- this is also common sense. No Seller would trust buyer to set % in China to my knowledge anymore than forget to get DLC/escrow for payment . So ore % would be known by both parties before sailing.
So difference should've not been much more than 10/ton.
Price didnt reach below 100 for some time and 80 for a LONG time after Ilia landed as per historical sources.
