Short Position …Stuck Like Glue Short positions are beginning to be reduced on some other gold stocks but that is not the case for NFG.
In fact , a modest increase was the case.
Other similar junior golds with exceptional drill results like SGD and NKG have only a modest and /or declining short positions.
So, NFG stands out as an exception.
Why ?
There is an underlying posit that the share price is being kneecapped for a low ball takeover offer by one of the Seniors.
Not unreasonable but at what cost to shareholders ?
Is management aware of this valuation trap ?
If so, what are they doing to not only protect shareholder value but ....their raison d'tre ...enhance share holder value consistent with advances in tangible development initiatives .
The share price imo reflects that management are comfortably numb, their financial compensation fully insulating them from the destruction of shareholder value evident for several years now and especialy so with POG over $2000 .
No roadshows , no dedicated promotional activities whatsoever .
Too stressful ?
No major moves to unlock hidden shareholder value such as QWS .
Too much like work ?
Too comfortable with their Buyout compensation which is not tied to buyout value ?
At some point in this sustained assault on shareholder value , the only recourse will have to be a shareholder revolt .
But is the resolve of shareholders sufficient to undertake such a revolt ?
