    Gold is undervalued. Still in a bull market. If it drops to 759 support,and breaks it,then is the time to sell mining shares. Gold mines can't operate if gold is under 700/ounce in price.

    No the post is correct, buy the ratio. There will be dips below the break-even production levels as certain hedges unload.

    WHY does this stock drop in price when it appears it has cash flow and gold is $200. higher than when I bought it??
