Western Goldfields (WGW)

CAPS Rating:
****

An independent metals production and exploration company with operations focused on North America.

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 members 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.

Many juniors have gone down or remained range bound in the"Gold Rush" unless they had proven assets and the were actively mining them. Now gold is down and the bar has risen again. In short juniors unless your rocketing to mid-tier your stock price will be hammered. ALL IMHO!

Production costs might have been an issue when the barrel traded near 150$ but everthing else seems positive.
Now trading at a 50% discount from the time gold peaked. Oil prices on a downward trend, seems like a good opportunity.
