FUNDAMENTALLY COMPELLING
BUY rated by the consensus
+47% average target upside
Morningstar rating * * * *
TECHNICALLY: COULD BE REBOUNDING SOON?
GG is down 35% since the intermediate top above $20 reached in early July
This is 2.5X more than the consolidation in Gold (-13.74% since July)
Such negative performance has brought a spike in volatility
The stock has also just completed a perfect rounding top
It has also been forming a consolidation base at 12.65
Too early to buy outright, as the direction in Gold needs confirmation
However...

Trade active:
The weakness in gold post Fed meeting presented us yesterday with yet another volatility opportunity to sell puts on Goldcorp, as the stock went down 10% in 24h. Yesterday, the 21Apr17 $11 put yielded intraday as much as 19% annualized ($0.80/share). Under the worst case scenario, we would be happy to be long GG at $11 for a longer-term pickup in gold prices. The $12 support played its role perfectly yesterday, as the stock breached it intraday but closed comfortably above it. Those who were assigned on the 16dec16 $13 put sale should hold on to the shares.
