CAPS Rating:
***

A producer of gold and holder of gold reserves in South Africa, Ghana, Australia, Venezuela and Peru. The Company is involved in underground and surface gold mining and related activities, including exploration, extraction, processing and smelting.

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

I'm iffy on these guys long term, mostly due to their South Africa operations: politically unstable and power infrastructure unstable. However, short term I see them jumping in the near future to about $18+ at which point I think you take your profits.

I prefer:
Yamana
Barrick
Northgate

Before these guys, but they're all going to rise once gold moves back to a $1000.

I just can't believe the metals sector has been hit so hard lately. Can you believe my caps score is currently 1?

If this isn't a bottom in PM stocks I don't know what ever will be. I wish CAPS let me weight my positions!

The stocks was selected based on put/call ratio (the volume of puts relative to call volume) and average option volume greater than 500 contracts. In other words, stocks where there are more call buyers than put buyers, hence bullish sentiment.
