Stock Issuance?
I'm getting a bit worried here by what I am seeing around the gold equity sector. Lots, lots of equity issuance going on. You have Jaguar Mining, Newmont, Agnico Eagle, Osisko, Yamana,Minefinders etc. all issuing shares at substantial discounts to their peak values. I do not desire to see such dilution with WGI and I truly hope that they don't get on board this train. Considering they were just buying back shares a mere two months ago, a share issuance now wouldn't be great.
I'm sure WGI is shopping around for acquisitions, on their financial statements they have charges of $200K per quarter in 'business development' as they consult various investment banks. I trust in management to not dilute existing shareholders, still WGI is cheap and any stock acquisition could be costly...
