Hey All,
It is nice to see that many of you are still regularly posting. Now that the SP is back at the 17c mark, I would like to think the recent turmoil (SP drop from 22c to 11c) is all gone and dusted. With that said, i picked up a few new batches along the way and no complaints there ^^.
What interestes me is that today, it is only 10:30 and we already see close to 7m in trade volume, a few buyers stacking up orders close to 6m at 16.5c. Suspicious as those order may be, it could just be punters waking up and warming up to the gold industry, Given how close we are to production and Gold prices at new high ($1661 high), it looks all positive for red. We saw overnight that Obama has finally convinced the Republicians to extend the debt ceiling but nonetheless could not prevent a 300 point drop on the dow jones. This is not to mention the hell Europe is going through presently. Normally i would be sceptical about the Sharemarket, but seeing as how cautious investors (and this is a growing number) is driving up gold prices and Red is fully funded (plus a little safety net). I like where we stand.
@Beatle; I admire your optimism regarding the 40c (and I hope you are right, oh how i wish you are right).
From where i stand, I have no intentions of letting go of my RED shares for anything sub 25c, I may even accumulate some fall if the 6m buyer at 16.5 pulls his order and we see a drop to around 15c or below. But my rational self is telling me, if they were willing to build a mine and found it to be profitable at $1000US/ounce, now that gold has climbed 70%.....not only does that mean more reserves (higher costing gold is all of a sudden profitable) but also..higher margins!.
One question that i have is how the Carbon tax affects Red (you may be the best source beatle). I would imagine, not greatly but still would add to Red's costs i would imagine.
Sorry about the rant; have a quiet day with some time on my hands for a change ^^.
