Could've been worse
Could've been worse given that POG was down, 1st quarter production was down and 1st quarter Cost of Sales was considerably higher than originally forecast. On the plus getting to production is never easy on the cost side, they are still ahead of schedule time wise, they had indicated recently that their costs were going to be +1,000 per oz in the first quarter so at least they were conservative in that forecast.
As for the downgrades analysts always do this.
I still see this as a no brainer POG has nowhere to go but up costs will decrease resulting in large margins. Even if their fuel prices continue to increase due to the increase in oil prices which in turn will increase the inflation rates which in turn will increase the POG WGI still will end up on the plus side IMHO.
I have a large % invested in WGI and although I am royally pissed off at the moment I have no fear.
GLTA longs.
