Yes, I may miss out, but I am being very cautious atm. I think more bad news from the US will skittle us, so I'm keeping some equity to make the most of the potential opportunity. Sorry, I'm not a hold and wait man, I'm an active investor.You give up to easily!
What not try a hold and see approach, as you yourself has stated M&A activity in the sector could be exponential if the Gold bugs are correct in their estimations.
Good Luck

Also, NEM will be a predator, not a prey, which potentially is bad news in the short term for their position. I'd much rather be on a takeover target.
I could very well buy back in this afternoon if it recovers magnificantly.

Yep, I agree here too. She's looking very sick amongst the internationals...You never know Kennas, stranger things have happened, and they still are number 2 in the world. Who knows, this may just be the right time for a predator to pounce on a 'distressed?' situation. My average entry is $2.60, so I'm in for the long haul (I'm afraid it's looking like that now)
Newmont in $1.7bn bid for Canadian goldminer

October 11, 2007
AT THE Diggers and Dealers conference in Kalgoorlie in August, Newmont Mining vice-chairman Pierre Lassonde said his company would start moves in two to three months to help it regain the crown of world's largest goldminer.
Rather than a tilt at local goldminers Newcrest Mining or Lihir Gold, a prospect raised at the Denver Gold Forum last month, Newmont yesterday revealed a $C1.5 billion ($A1.7 billion) friendly cash offer for Canada's Miramar Mining. Miramar owns the Hope Bay project in the Canadian Arctic. Hope Bay has three gold deposits containing 10.7 million ounces of resources.
Finally some good news for the bleeder, up nearly 10% in the US overnight on doubling of profit ann - should see it reclaim $5.50 mark today?

Unusual volume spikes on this the past 3 days. Rarely trades over 500k shares. I think the one a couple of days ago was due to the Canadian buy but yesterday's spike with 2% gain looks like good support.
http://network.nationalpost.com/np/...quot-outperform-quot-after-two-big-deals.aspxLate last year, Newmont Mining Corp. did two significant deals that transformed the company: the acquisition of Miramar Mining Corp. and the spin-off of Franco-Nevada Corp. BMO Capital Markets worked on both transactions, and now that they are complete, analyst David Haughton is initiating coverage with an "outperform" rating and a target of US$65.00 a share.
NEW YORK ”” Newmont Mining, one of the world's top gold producers, says its first-quarter earnings surged as gold prices spiked amid weakness in global financial markets and the U.S. dollar.
Denver-based Newmont Mining Corp. says it earned $370-million (U.S.), or 81 cents per share, up sharply from year-ago profit of $68-million, or 15 cents per share. Earnings from continuing operations totalled 80 cents per share in the latest period.
Revenue climbed to $1.94-billion from $1.22-billion, as the average price per ounce of gold jumped to $933 from $649 a year earlier.
Thomson Financial says analysts expected a profit of 54 cents per share on revenue of $1.66 billion.
I assume a 12 month target UF? NEM has been pretty disappointing since breaking that downtrend a few months ago. Was short term up, but now back to mid term sideways. POG correcting as should be expected, unless we're all wrong and the US and world economy fixes itself up and the world starts holding hands.$65 is a bit optimistic in the short term, but they look to have delivered on the profit front - and the share price is still pathetic.
NEM opened today @ $59.74 - Financials of the Parent Co look ok... Going to be an interesting ride...
