Caller sold Puts and put the stock at $9. Does Bruce see the stock getting back to $9? Have had some cost overruns so they are looking at $850-$900 costs over the next year or two, which is relatively high. Thinks it will take a while to get out of the penalty box. You may have to hang on for 18-24 months to get your money. He would feel $9 would be his two-year target. He sold his holdings and has moved on.
Gold sector has not been a good place to be. He’d rather buy the sector rather than individual names. Chart shows a big gap in the latter part of 2012, so something fundamental has happened. Clearly has a bit of a base building, so maybe the worst is over. He would rather average up on a stock. Before buying more, wait until you see a bit of a catalyst.
Really good production growth coming but at this point you are playing gold for the overall sector. US$ is being devalued, central banks are pumping money into the system and this bodes well for commodities. Silver and gold have done extremely well in the short term. He recommends the senior producers such as Goldcorp (G-T) or Barrick (ABX-T). This company is not far behind. It is harder for the smaller companies to raise money right now.
Not positive. Have been a lot of missteps operationally. Nice dividend yield. A lot of cap-X to keep up the mines.
