cheers GF.

merely a bounce off the 50(?) dma .... i'm out of these for now

Worth watching though as sub 900p would be a good entry point, imo.

I don't think that will happen,Harry.The way that I see it,after 8 consecutive days of falls,the most in 22 months(Jan 09) a bounce is on the cards. Especially with the price of gold having fallen by about $100 in the last little while.

This is getting creepy.......sold mine this morning cyners, made small profit but that will do, was hoping to see the 17 around xmas........not going to happen.,.

do the sirens call?
gold has now got to $1400 and POG sp has just peeked through 200 dma ..... a reasonable punt, or will it yet again prove to be a false dawn to be rudely shattered by yet another duff announcement or downgrade from the management

RIO, is not a true gold play, though it tends to react with the bullion price, and makes another interesting possibility

of the second-liners, i still happily hold CEY even though i top-sliced there the other day

there are of course a zillion "joke" stocks for the lemmings to bat around - a few will make a good profit (if they remember to bank it) while others will buy at the the top and stand goggle-eyed when they crash again

Damn. Missed the boat again! Was so busy watching other stocks, that this one has got away. Not a false dawn, imo.
Surely RRS is a better tracker of the gold price, though a very expensive stock? There are so many factors affecting RIO, as they are miners of just about everything, that I don't think that gold is a good guide. In fact, gold is a by product of their copper mining activities, as is sulphuric acid, molybdenum, silver and some borates.
Will be interesting to see the next production figures from POG.

H2SO4 is dirt cheap to produce, so worth diddlysquat, and for reasons with which i shan't bore you all, difficult to transport ..... i also thought it was used in the processing rather than being a by-product of the actual mining.

RRS
an interesting suggestion, though it is not a stock i have ever followed ..... however, i note sp dipped to touch the (starting to rise) 25 dma, so this could make a profitable trading opportunity

As usual sold at the wrong time....wish I held my batch at 911 now.,.

Russia gaining the World Cup can only be a plus for POG

as an aside - i wonder if FIFA is actually as corrupt as the european parliament .... the latter is totally undemocratic and answerable to no one ...... this allows all those aboard this truffle-laden gravy train to live like minor african dictators and their entourage - or perhaps rooting pigs would be more apposite

Perhaps The Ruskies were able to make it worthwhile for the FIFA officials to vote for them! It is certainly a possibility.

even very likely .... ditto the qataris

Heading for support at c1000p.

The market is flagging some poor numbers on the 27th, but it may now already be in the price, any thoughts?
Shares which zig-zag side-ways make me a little aprehensive?

i ought to lose patience with POG but on this one i am obstinate and continue to hold though the signals say SELL

cynic, they have already down-graded their guidance, the share has already corrected, is cheap on cash flow, at this price people are fearful but there is a chance that the 27th will not be as bad as people expect.

Fairfax note out seems OK.

Time to get back in?

Petropavlovsk gold production up 51% in Q4
StockMarketWire.com
Russian-focused miner Petropavlovsk Plc said its total attributable gold production for 2010 was up 4% at 506,800oz, with fourth-quarter production rising by around 51% to 202,200oz.

Gold sold by the group, excluding joint ventures, in 2010 was 445,500oz, against the 2009 figure of 438,200oz. Average realised price increased by 29% to $1,253/oz from $975/oz.

Petropavlovsk said its conservative base case scenario for attributable gold production for 2011 was currently estimated at 600,000oz, representing an increase of about 18% over 2010.

It expected to benefit from cash flows attributable to at least 600,000 oz of gold sales in 2011.

Chairman Peter Hambro, 'We look confidently into 2011 when our fourth gold mine, Albyn, is expected to make its first contribution to the group's gold production.

'Construction works at the Albyn site, which is one of the most prospective assets of the group, are advancing well and we are currently on track to commission the c1.6-2m tonnes per year first-stage plant in H2 2011.

'Exploration works are ongoing and the group has acquired two additional prospective licences nearby.

'In 2010, the group was also successful in the acquisition of a number of licences in the Amur, Krasnoyarsk and Jewish Autonomous regions. We look forward to exploring these prospective assets in due course.'

New JORC reserves and resource numbers were expected to be announced in March.

Shares were up 28p at 1060p.

CP - i already hold (1089), but the chart is scarcely encouraging and gold is still decidedly lacklustre ..... if sp were close to 10.00, then perhaps a stronger case for buying
