cheers GF.

certainly gold back above 200 dma, though not quite sure why the enthusiasm
do i want to dabble in a gold specialist?
not really

POG have disappointed too much for me in the past though as a contrary move I'm buying gold as a hedge - far too many are bearish. Personally I think the bull run is intact and continue to like the commentary in MoneyWeek. Not that I feel brave enough to hold here mind.

POG going well this morning........take note Cyners.

OMI might be worth a look (gold producer).....market cap is so small...but is profitable..

Cheers RF will do.

so it is :-)

Canaccord note from last week:
"The 36p price target lift comes from 2 areas. Firstly, as would be expected the higher gold price estimates make a substantial difference to our free cash flow estimates and ability of management to reduce net debt levels over the next few years.
Secondly since we last revised our estimates there has been a 14% devaluation of the Ruble vs the US$. Given that most of the operating costs are Ruble denominated this has a marked impact on unit costs and cash flow generation.
We have assumed a period of increased inflation through 2014 and 2015 of ~6% p.a. which limits the longer term benefit of the weaker Ruble and also assumes that through 2015 the Ruble/US$ rate returns from the current level of 36.5/1 to 32.5/1. The weaker Ruble adds some 27p to our risked NAV. Holding the Ruble forecast flat at 36.5 in perpetuity would increase our NAV from 180p to 280p, showing the leverage in the shares.
Looking forward we believe that news flow from management will largely be positive. We expect more detail over the nature of the additional oxide resources and by mid year a revised JORC statement. This, we expect, will allow management to make further progress in refinancing the outstanding convertible bond. Both events, we believe, would de risk the shares substantially."

IRC - Petropavlovsk's non-precious metals division before being listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange - has announced that the General Nice further subscription and Minmetals Cheerglory subscription did not complete today as planned.

Talks are under way with Cai Sui Xin (the controlling shareholder and chairman of General Nice) and Minmetals Cheerglory about a further deferred completion and other available options.

A further announcement will be released in due course.

why does that sound like bad news?
because it probably is!

Oh dear, sorry skinners. On the other hand KAZ is on way up.,.

I dumped these a few weeks ago - having turned £s to pennies.

Well if Russia can replace Putin and stability returns and gold reverses the recent correction (which I think it is - still in a big bull run in my opinion and now's the time to be buying gold), then this could move sharply higher. High geopolitical risk.

Thanks Skinny, does it go back to the 70's? I'm tucking away a nice reserve in PHGP.

Thanks! Just a correction we've seen in my opinion. Gold probably safer than POG.

Both are safe. I think reward for POG is much higher.

Who would have thought POG sp would end uo like this below CEY sp!
