Goldcorp Inc./ G, GG (TSX, NYSE)

Ja klar, Goldcorp ist und bleibt natürlich eine Qualitätsaktie. Und gerade, wenn man auf eine Abstimmung (und Ablehnung des Glamis-Deals) hofft, kann man jetzt ziemlich günstig kaufen... ich warte noch etwas auf eine Kursstabilisierung, dann schlage ich wohl auch zu.

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis auf das Interview, das ich ganz gelesen habe. Es wird darin deutlich, daß sich das Management von Goldcorp sehr verschlechtert hat. Wie konnte man nur eine solche Pfeife wie Jan Telfer zum CEO machen? Sollte es zu der Übernahme kommen, wird diese weniger Vergnügen bereiten als die Übernahme von Chrysler durch Daimler-Benz den deutschen Aktionären bereitet hat.

Danach könnte Goldcorp noch eine gehedgte US-Mine übernehmen, um das Desaster volkommen zu machen.

St. LOUIS (ResourceInvestor.com) -- Last night, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice dismissed the application by Goldcorp’s founder and ex-chairman to compel the company to hold a shareholder vote on its proposed takeover of Glamis Gold. But Rob McEwen says it was only “round one!”
“I am disappointed by the Court's decision and remain convinced that having no shareholder vote on such a fundamental and dilutive transaction is not in the best interests of shareholders. This was round one!” McEwen said in a press release........

DJ Goldcorp 4Q Net Slips On Impairment Charge >GG

Vancouver gold producer Goldcorp Inc. (GG) reported lower fourth-quarter net income on an impairment charge for the Amapari mine of $175 million, which was partially offset by a gain on sale of Silver Wheaton Corp. (SLW) shares of about $88 million after tax.
Goldcorp said its net income in the quarter was $66 million or 11 cents a share, down from $102 million or 30 cents a year earlier.
Adjusted (non-GAAP) earnings were $113.5 million or 19 cents a share in the latest quarter, it said. The Thomson First Call mean earnings estimate was 17 cents a share.
The company said its gold production nearly doubled to 587,900 ounces in the quarter from 296,200 ounces in the same period of 2005. Gold sales also doubled to 599,500 ounces at a total cash cost of $160 an ounce, compared with 307,300 ounces at minus $73 an ounce. The increase in cash costs is reflective of lower copper by-product credits in the latest quarter combined with increasing operating costs experienced industry-wide, it said.
