cheers GF.

well i hope some of you guys followed my advice ...... been in; now out and thank you very much indeed says the bank manager! ...... if sp falls back again, could well buy once more

cynic, well done old chap.

I take it you bought before the rebound?

bought at 969 (bottom was 946); sold at 1030 (top was close to 1050)

not too happy to see the chart forming a dead cross at about 1150 ..... and don't forget the overhanging issue of unknown reality of licencing objections ...... however, sp is beginning to look oversold again ...... well worth watching and perhaps a little dabble

i did (992) and still not too late tho now 1017 ..... rsi is still <40

sorry chaps ... looks like a wrong call ..... no news and sharp fall may be just general unease following Shell/Sakhalin story ..... on the other hand, it may be that the Russkies are cooking up a more serious story re POG's licencing "misdemeanours" so they can steal the assets ...... have cut my losses but will continue to watch

heads up: RTRS - Russian Agency to check ALL of POG's licenses. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

am already out .... took my own advice for a change and took the hit at 889 when sp looked sour for no obvious reason

Just tore thru the 800 mark without even touching the sides ... maybe the writing's on the wall for investing in ANY remotely-Russian-related resources (took a hit on Oxus for the same reason) ... looks like a general land grab to me.

didn't have the balls to short, but never mind ..... did not even have "known reason" when i cut

RTRS just out - they're going to do a Shell/Sakhalin job on POG - meeting today to "define options for possible cooperation btween Rosprirodnadzor and Peter Hambro Mining".

no surprise there, though i guess that explains the partial recovery in POG ..... however, all POG's assets are in Russia and any deal (odds on there being one) cannot be exactly advantageous to POG - i.e. i personally see no reason why recovery should continue; indeed prob the opposite

despite yesterday's massive recovery, it is with regret that my view is that this intrinsically excellent company's shares should be avoided at least until the extent of Russian greed is truly determined.

POG seems to have resolved its differences with the Russian bureaucrats ..... excellent trading statement in the last few days.

POG is a top quality company and is, i am almost certain, the cheapest gold producer in the world.

Gold itself is, IMO, a good medium/long term investment, and i for one have a position both in bullion and have also bought back into here within the last week.

red = 50 dma
green = 200 dma

good to see that break through 50 dma has not only been mainmtained, but some increased upwards momentum ...... next obvious pause is likley to be when 200 dma hit currently at 1200, but if through that, then perhaps up to 1300

i feel like the prophet in his own land

have taken my money off the table at lesat for the moment .... sp seemed to be stalling and had a good profit; gold has gone into reverse for some unknown reason ..... am sure i shall be back in in due course

i regard POG as a really good share to trade as an alternative to straight bullion ..... as mentioned elsewhere, this is a really good quality producer etc etc, but sp is very volatile, so great for trading, always assuming you get the call right!

with that in mind, i post below a 3 month chart as it is easier to read than the longer term one above



red = 25 dma
green = 50 dma
black = 200 dma

Did you get back in to this one Cynic?

Nice rise today! :-)

Anyone know why, or it is just uncertanty putting Gold back in favour?

Strawbs.

afraid i sold mine day before yesterday at 1180 when gold was looking weak (only 50p profit per share; hey ho!) ..... shall assuredly get back in for, as i said before, it's an A1 stock for trading
