Gold mines' share values are obscured by hedges

Article Abstract:

Gold-mining firms should not hide their derivatives exposure if they want to attract investors to their stock, said mining-fund managers. U.S. investors are starting to purchase gold funds again, and there is money trickling into their European counterparts, according to Kjeld Thygerson, a director of Lion Resource Management. Fund managers and other investors are coming across a difficult stock-picking problem, however. Thygerson is afraid that if gold prices stay above $300 an ounce and increase next year, some gold-mining companies could be exposed on their derivatives positions.
