Comment

Well Gold Fields has now offered the premium I wanted, so I guess I should be happy with that, and the funds can be put to use elsewhere, in stocks that are approaching production and which may rise more than Gold Road in percentage terms.

I’m certainly happier now with the premium, but tinged with sadness as this is my oldest holding, where I bought in around 2012, at 10c.

I am going to sell at least some in the near future, which will mean missing the final dividend but I hope to do better than that elsewhere, as I have a small list of new producers that should benefit from a price lift if they commence production on time and without any mishaps.
