Harmony…
These clowns just announced that they actually lost $53 million this year because of currency and gold hedging. When asked if they would continue the practice, the CFO said “yes” citing their success with the program over the last 5 years.
I actually owned quite a bit of HMY and thankfully got a double out of it. I didn’t realize they were hedged, and I dumped the entire position today. I could care less where it goes from here–I am never touching it again.
I’ve actually got quite a bit of cash to deploy now. I will be nibbling on any dips in other miners.
I agree. Hedging in a bull market is nothing but stupid. The faster/more gold rises, the more harm Harmony will experience.

Thanks for the heads up, Sir Nautilus. I initiated a position in HMY, only last month. And cost averaged down too.
Will exit it for a small profit then, and deploy the proceeds to other exciting juniors.

They have to hedge, as the bank lenders make it a requirement.
No hedging = no bank finance.
