Also, the ABX upside is much better than Gold Corp based on having those 27 mines. The investment bankers lost their ABX CEO after the May 2012 stock holders meeting; and have been trying to nit pick ABX ever since driving down the stock price. Anyone who has examined Barrick/ABX in detail knows their fundamentals are second to none. Though part of wall street is doing a good job beating up on Barrick/ABX.
And in spite of the wining of how Barrick is run by wall street, having accountants and technical people who actually understand how to produce gold instead of casting around for capital purchases and wasting money as wall street people do, people with a strong vested interest in Barrick/ABX are running the company for the time being. Which appears to be a good situation for stock holders.
The best possible situation left is for the retail stock market to recognize the investment bankers are not going to nit pick Barrick/ABX out of existence or into mediocrity. Could be a year, could be five. In any case, when it happens, the likes of Apple or Google for ABX are a real possibility.
