    Off Topic:
    I was catching up on some background research on companies.
    I now am beginning to worry that in order to continue under the current market conditions some companies are doing exactly whar hurt them in the last major turn-down for miners; namely selling future shipments at todays low prices.
    It almost Bankrupted Barrick last time and certainly depressed earnings for a decade.
    Couer recently announced it has hedged about 30% of its future production. (I do not have details for how long a time period yet.)
    Between selling off future production at disadvantageous prices in order to capital construction cost, giving away warrants which allows naked shorting by brokerages and now hedging, I have to wonder if most mining companies really ever think about their investors!

    All streaming company profits come out of the pockets of investors in mining companies, in my opinion.

    I understand hedging when prices are high. I do not understand hedging when prices are low, and in particular hedging at less than cost of production seems guaranteed stupidity.

      stupidity of mining executives are rampant. Don’t be surprised.
