RE:RE:Gold moving higher again todayAlwaysLong683 wrote: In my view, current or near-term turmoil re. inflation, possible war, or other events that usually boost the price of gold tend to benefit companies that are currently producing and selling gold as they will benefit right away from such events by being able to sell their gold at higher prices, but junior gold exploration-stage companies not so much since the market realizes that it's likley going to be years until these explorers make their first pour and no one knows how smoothly the process to build the mine will go or what gold will be trading at at that time. Instead, as I've stated in the past, junior explorers rely on the quality and frequency of assay results (I don't think this "one core per press release" strategy is working very well), and in NFG's case, the additional factor concerning the uncertainty of the outcome of the investigation and contents of the final report.
The one execption would be rumours of and / or an actual takeover of the company at a signficiant premium to its current share price, similar to what GBR experienced a while ago.
I believe today is a good example of the above.
Gold up to around 1,900.00.
Senior gold producers up signficantly:
AEM up 7.60%
NGT up 5.57%
YRI up 5.16%
ABX up 4.68%
The only junior gold exploration-stage company in Newfoundland that popped today was KNC, up 34.62% (and up a total of around 75% over the past 4 trading days), likely due to a PR before market open February 14 outlining the intersection of "multiple wide zones of gold mineralization" at their Stony Lake project. Though I think the investment community is getting a little carried away given the actual contents of the press release and the follow-up PRs extrapolating what KNC expects over time, my guess is little was expected of KNC prior to this announcement and its share price had taken a beating since June 2021, so it seems KNC cleared a very low bar in terms of market expectations by quite a large margin in the eyes of investors. Nonetheless, it seems obvious to me that it was their PRs that shot their share price up, not the price of gold, inflation, fear of war, etc.
Meanwhile today:
SIC unchanged
NFLD unchanged
LAB down 1.21%
NFG down 1.72%
ROX down 3.70%
In my view, NFG investors should focus on receiving press releases that present good news such as positive investigation results, assay results that meet or exceed expectations, etc., as I think these factors more than any other event(s) re. inflation, possible war, the price of gold, etc.
Just providing what I think is a good illustration of what others on this BB suspect is needed for NFG's share price to make significant gains.
