4-Star Stocks Poised to Pop: Yamana Gold

  Its nice to see the CAPS continually talking up Yamana. I'm a shareholder and I've been watching it seems, forever.Despite all the watching I've been seeing the stock nosedive and hang arounjd the 7 to $10 dollar range for the last 6 months. My question is, when do you suppose this thing will pop. I would love to see some positive gains, especially since the world and US economies are on the brink. I think it has the potential to be a great stock but something is constantly holding it down.

  Any thoughts?

  CAPS members can talk up AUY all they want but it doesn't look like they back up their recommendation.

  Gold hit a record $1,023.50 on March 17, 2008. AUY traded as high as $19.93 that day. Since then gold has dropped roughly 12% as of today (assuming a $900 price). AUY has dropped 54% since March 17. When gold dropped down to near $750, a drop of over 25%, AUY dropped as low as $7.27, a drop of 64% from March 17th? I can understand a drop in AUY's price along with a drop in gold prices but when it is more than twice the percentage, it seems to me that it's a bit overdone.

  I think its interesting that CAPS members don't even respond to to these comments. Do you suppose this is an indication of their commitment to this soon-to-be million dollar stock?

  Just wondering.

  As I mentioned before, CAPS members may rate the stocks but it sure doesn't look like the back up them up with their own money. So, i't not really surprising that they don't respond to any comments either. Today is another day of Gold being up (1%) and AUY being down (3% at the time this is written).

  I agree there is some kind of information needed to fill in the gaps between dropping/rising gold prices and AUY stock. They are a mining company but do they hold a sizable amount of gold? And maybe the stock is waiting for earnings reports for some reason because investors are wary that mining companies are spending their money correctly? Don't know what the answer is but like the rest am interested in hearing some other commentary.

  I bought this stock as a safe haven commodity thinking it would go up when the economy crashed. Well, the market had a meltdown today and this stock still went down while gold itself went up. I am convinced this stock has good fundamentals but something or some group is holding it down. I know Kramer soured on it but, it didn't do anything when he was yelling buy, buy, buy either. Someone please give me some reason for this poor stock performance. Would love to see this come roaring back.

  did it occur to any of you that not one gold mining stock ticked up today???? that the nyse had its largest daily decline in history, and that auy is listed on the nyse, as are most other gold miners? gold could have gone up 90 dollars today, and i still dont think miners would have seen a gain.

  I agree, I don't know why this stock isn't moving. With the uncertainty in the market and dollar, people all over the world are buying gold. This stock should be moving up!

  Interesting! The market crashes and AUY goes down. It roars back today and AUY goes down again. OK, so it must be the dollar. The dollar is soaring today so, by default that means gold stocks suffer. But that doesn't make sense either, There are trillions and trillions of dollars out there as a result of Uncle Sams reckless spending for the last 20 years. So what value does the dollar have? This stock vis-a-vis the dollar is very frustrating, I just don't understand the way AUIY and all other gold stocks are behaving. Can anyone explain it?

  Nothing has made sense in this market for months now. Seems to me the only hedge in this market is to get out completely.

  what is going on with this stock? GOLD RISES, MARKETS CRASH and AUY drops. MARKETS SOAR GOLD DROPS, AUY drops. Someone is holding this stock back, or maybe everyone is waiting for the the financials. If anyone else has any insight about this company, please let us know.

  I agree 1,000 percent Dipietsa85. No matter what happens in the markets this stock goes down.

  Gold - UP, AUY - DOWN

  Gold - DOWN, AUY - DOWN

  Markets - UP, AUY - DOWN

  Markets - DOWN, AUY - DOWN

  Dollar - UP, AUY - DOWN

  Dollar - DOWN, AUY - DOWN

  But nearly 3,000 CAPS members rate it outperform while only 100 rate it underperform. CAPS is a joke. Investors helping other investors lose money.

  Dow, DOWN 3%

  Gold, DOWN 4.5%

  AUY, DOWN 16%

  And yet a few more CAPS members gave the thumbs-up today. Keep dreaming.

  You all win! A 40% decline in the price of the stock in just over a week is aboslutely ridiculous. I've had enough pain.

  Maybe this is a classic move of the big shark eating the small fish in the short term and I figure this company is going to drop at least another 30% because the average investor panics and sells. I am going to hold for awhile,maybe buy some more shares and average down my PPS. I still believe this company has the potential to do well, it just may need time and by time I mean long term.

  5 years+. Anyone else agree? Thanks
