RE:Barrick vs. Newmont—Who’s Winning the Gold War?The advantage goes to whoever has this: 1)no hidden coming write offs that are almost always in the hundreds of millions or billions 2)The one who has the least amount of slowdown anywhere because that is all investors look at - missing estimates or not. So producing one ton less than anticipated anywhere is far far more important thant actual profit, even if a company is printing big profit money - so the new investors see any slowdown , temporary breakdown for any amount , even just 2 ounces and the stock will go down like newmont by over 15%. Profit does not count, just estimates. Welcome to the new generation of bitcoin dreamers or AI lottery ticket buyers
