The Gold Report Interview with Roger Wiegand (08/30/10)
"In 2006, we were. . .recommending stock call options on. . .Goldcorp Inc. . .We had a good run. We were buying them and making anywhere between 100% and 300%, usually in 90–180 days. I was a happy camper. . .Of course, the Lehman thing came and, when they crunched the gold market, it was the end of that opportunity for a while.
I believe you're going to see [that opportunity] again. We're starting to trend that way. It's going to be easier, I think, to trade options in some of these senior companies because they have a lot of cash. We see them making a lot more money with rising metal prices this year and next."
