23.08.05 Hecla Mining (NA, Kurs 3,95 $, MKP 616 Mio A$) meldet für das Juniquartal einen Rückgang der Silberproduktion auf 1,4 Mio oz und der Goldproduktion auf 34.172 oz, was einer Jahresrate von 5,6 Mio oz Silber und 140.000 oz Gold entspricht. Hecla gibt die Nettoproduktionskosten (Juniquartal 2004) für das Silber mit 2,59 $/oz (1,72 $/oz) und die Nettoproduktionskosten für das Gold mit 317 $/oz (162 $/oz) an. Bei einem Verkaufspreis von 7,15 $/oz (6,28 $/oz) für das Silber und von 432 $/oz (368 $/oz) für das Gold erreichte Hecla beim Silber eine Bruttogewinnspanne von 4,56 $/oz (4,56 $/oz) und beim Gold von 115 $/oz (206 $/oz). Wegen hoher Abschreibungen, Verwaltungs- und Explorationsausgaben verzeichnete Hecla trotz der hohen Bruttogewinnspannen einen operativen Verlust von 8,5 Mio A$ oder 187 $/oz. Bei einer jährlichen Goldproduktion von 140.000 oz erreicht die Lebensdauer der Goldreserven 4,0 Jahre und bei einer jährlichen Silberproduktion von 6,4 Mio oz erreicht die Lebensdauer der Silberreserven 3,4 Jahre. Einem Cashbestand von 69,9 Mio A$ (113,9 Mio A$) stand am 30.06.05 (30.06.04) eine gesamte Kreditbelastung von 146,7 Mio A$ (147,0 Mio A$) gegenüber. Beurteilung: Hecla Mining ist ein populärer nordamerikanischer Gold- und Silberproduzent, der sensibel auf den Gold- und Silberpreis reagiert. Negativ ist die Unfähigkeit, trotz der niedrigen Nettoproduktionskosten und der gestiegenen Gold- und Silberpreise substanzielle Gewinne zu erzielen. Problematisch bleibt die geringe Lebensdauer der Reserven. Der abnehmende Cashbestand veranschaulicht die schwache fundamentale Entwicklung. Aus fundamentaler Sicht bleibt Hecla Mining deutlich überbewertet. Wir senken unser Verkaufslimit von 6,00 auf 3,50 $ und unser Rückkauflimit von 3,00 auf 2,00 $ und stellen Hecla weiterhin zum Verkauf. Empfehlung: Über 3,50 $ verkaufen, aktueller Kurs 3,95 $, Rückkauf unter 2,00 $. Hecla Mining wird an verschiedenen deutschen Börsen gehandelt (vgl. Verkaufsempfehlung vom 11.10.04 bei 7,35 $).

In der Vergangenheit hat er etliches empfohlen, was heute noch in den Schrottplätzen vieler Depots vor sich hingammelt - unter anderem in meinem. Deshalb bin ich auch nicht unbedingt objektiv.
Mittelfristig werden sich viele in den allerwertesten beißen wollen, wenn sie der Siegelschen Verkaufs-Empfehlung zu hecla Folge leisten bzw. geleistet haben. Der Gute ist ein prima Contra Indikator.
Dines hat eine ganz andere Mining zu Hecla.
Dines spielt allerdings auch nicht in der Kreisliga der Börsengurus.

Kein Wunder - Silber ist DAS kommende Ding schlechthin und Hecla Mining einer der führenden plays darin.

Fakten:
- In 2004 konnte man Silber zu 2,02$ verkaufen, in 2005 tut man dies für 3,10-3,30$ pro Unze! Was sagt uns das? Die gestiegenen Preise stützen den Silberboom, der kommen wird. Man erinnert sich an Gold: 2004 zu 180$, 2005 schon fast 300$.

- Hecla ist eine schuldenfreies Unternehmen mit +80Mio $ in 2004 und buddelt in den USA (inkl. Alaska), Venezuela und Mexiko. Gold als zweites Standbein, dazu Blei und Zink.

- Die Lucky Friday Mine wird 2006 seinen Silberausstoß verdoppeln.

- Allgemein deckt das Angebot nicht mehr die Nachfrage - jeder Wirtschaftsanfänger sieht also schon, dass es zu weiter steigenden Preisen führen wird und damit indirekt Gewinnen. Und Recyclen ist viel zu teuer im Verhältnis zu den geringen Silbermengen, die aus den Gerätschaften (Halbleiterindustrie, Medizin usw), in denen es verarbeitet wurde, zu holen sind.

[Tigerwoods]

sag ich doch.

silber steigt weiter ... dieses jahr noch auf 10 ?

12 ist auch nicht auszuschliessen ...

rohstoffe bleiben trendy.

Korrekt, der letzte Bärenmarkt für Silber liegt satte 19 Jahre zurück, und wie beschrieben ist das Material nicht nur deswegen "überfällig".

Hecla Sells Alamos Stock, Generates $36 Million Gain

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 30, 2006--Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today sold its shares of Alamos Gold Inc., generating a $36 million gain and netting $57 million of cash proceeds.

In late 2004 and early 2005, Hecla acquired its interest in Alamos for approximately $21 million, based on its evaluation of the Mulatos gold property in Mexico, which is being developed by Alamos.

Hecla President and Chief Executive Officer Phillips S. Baker, Jr., said, " This gain on investment further strengthens our balance sheet and allows us even more flexibility to move ahead on our own very prospective exploration properties in five world-class mining districts."

" Through our effective evaluation process, we recognized the value of the Mulatos property and purchased as much stock as our standstill arrangement allowed," said Baker. " Alamos has done an excellent job with the property and we think their future is very bright. However, we don't see a way to participate in an operating sense and have decided to take the gain on the investment at this time."

Hecla Mining Company, headquartered in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, mines, processes and explores for silver and gold in the United States, Venezuela and Mexico. A 114-year-old company, Hecla has long been well known in the mining world and financial markets as a quality silver and gold producer. Hecla's common and preferred shares are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols HL and HL-PrB.

News Release vom 15.06.2006

Hecla's Lucky Friday Mine Rescue Team Takes First Place

COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 15, 2006--Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) is pleased to announce that its Lucky Friday mine rescue team placed first overall in the annual Coeur d'Alene District mine rescue competition in northern Idaho hosted by Central Mine Rescue (CMR) on May 19-20. The Lucky Friday six-member team had to respond to emergency scenarios designed to test their readiness for real events. The Lucky Friday team nearly swept the event, taking first place in the field competition, bench and stretcher drill, BG 174-A bench (individual), multi-gas tester monitor bench (individual) and placing second in the first aid drill.

Four teams took part in the annual competition. The Lucky Friday team will now represent CMR at the national competition in Reno in July. CMR was originally formed as a coalition of mines pooling their mine rescue resources into one central location for coverage of all the local mines. CMR now covers mines all over the Western U.S.

Hecla is the lowest-cost primary silver producer in North America, mining approximately 6 million ounces of silver and 150,000 ounces of gold annually.

Hecla Mining Company (NYSE:HL) today reported income applicable to common shareholders of $9.1 million, or 8 cents per common share, for the second quarter of 2006, $15.5 million more than the loss of $6.4 million, or 5 cents per common share, during the second quarter of 2005. Compared to the same quarter last year, Hecla increased:

Windkraftfonds mit Zukunft
Investieren Sie in den Zukunftsmarkt Windkraft. 14% Ausschüttung p.a. und das 10 Jahre steuerfrei!*
-- Sales revenue by 125%, to $56.9 million, a Hecla record



-- Gross profit by 409%, to $17.7 million



-- Net cash flow before exploration and pre-development by 378%, to $36.5 million, and



-- Cash flow provided by operating activities to $28.9 million from $1.0 million



Hecla's silver production costs continued to decrease, with an average total cash cost of silver produced in the second quarter of $1.98 per ounce, which compares very favorably to a worldwide industry average cash cost per ounce of silver production in 2005 of $3.28. Second quarter financial results were positively impacted by increased prices for gold, silver, zinc and lead, as well as from the sale of the Noche Buena gold exploration property in northern Mexico, which resulted in a pre-tax gain of $4.4 million. This gain was partially offset by a charge of $1.2 million for stock option expense.

Income applicable to common shareholders for the first half of 2006 was $47.3 million, or 40 cents per share, compared to a loss of $9.8 million, or 8 cents per share in the first half of 2005. Included in 2006 results is a first quarter gain of $35.6 million, net of income taxes, on the sale of investment securities.

Hecla produced 1.3 million ounces of silver at an average total cash cost per ounce of $1.98 and 42,234 ounces of gold, including 38,399 ounces in Venezuela, at an average total cash cost per ounce of $340 during the second quarter. For the first six months of 2006, Hecla produced 2.5 million ounces of silver at an average total cash cost per ounce of $2.01, and 84,653 ounces of gold, including production of 76,019 ounces in Venezuela, at an average cash cost per ounce of $348.

Hecla President and Chief Executive Officer Phillips S. Baker, Jr., said, "This continues to be a great year, with the most quarterly revenues in our 115-year history. Hecla is the lowest-cost, lowest-risk primary silver producer in North America, and these metals prices have allowed us to generate significant earnings and operating cash flow after funding our aggressive exploration program. This program is expected to deliver more reserves or resources at almost every property this year. Given our successes on both the operating and exploration fronts, I believe the market is not yet recognizing the low-risk profile of our silver assets, the cash-generating power of our operations and the growth in our reserve/resource base."



2ND QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS



-- Significant increase in net income, sales, gross profit and cash flow compared to the same period one year ago



-- 24% decrease in average total cash cost for silver to $1.98 per ounce, with production of 1.3 million ounces of silver



-- 42,234 ounces of gold produced, including 38,399 ounces attributed to the La Camorra Unit at an average total cash cost of $340 per ounce



-- Successful sale of all gold ounces inventoried in Venezuela and establishing buyers for in-country sales going forward



-- Exploration success, with anticipated resource increases by year-end at Lucky Friday, Greens Creek and the San Sebastian Hugh Zone



-- Sale of Noche Buena gold exploration property for $4.4 million



-- No debt; cash and short-term investments of $80.8 million



OPERATIONS



Hecla's Lucky Friday Unit, located in northern Idaho, produced 742,125 ounces of silver during the second quarter of 2006, at an average total cash cost of $4.97 per ounce. In the first six months of the year, Lucky Friday produced 1.4 million ounces of silver at an average total cash cost per ounce of $5.13. Production costs at Lucky Friday decreased compared to the first quarter of the year as mining transitioned from the 4900 level to the newly developed 5900 level. That transition was completed early in the third quarter of 2006 and most of the production is now coming from the 5900 level, with anticipated production of about 3 million ounces of silver in 2006 and close to 4 million ounces in 2007. The Lucky Friday mine is the deepest underground precious metals mine in the United States and has been operating for 60 years.

Hecla holds a 29.73% interest in the Greens Creek silver mine, a joint venture with Rio Tinto, located on Admiralty Island near Juneau, Alaska. Hecla's share of second quarter Greens Creek production included 520,750 ounces of silver at the low average total cash cost of negative $2.28 per ounce, made possible by high prices of by-product metals: zinc, gold and lead. The mine also contributed 3,750 ounces of gold for Hecla's account during the second quarter of 2006. For the first six months of the year, Hecla's share of Greens Creek production was 1.1 million ounces of silver and 8,478 ounces of gold, at an average total cash cost of silver of negative $1.74 per ounce, compared to 1.7 million ounces of silver in the first half of 2005 at an average total cash cost of $1.07 per ounce. Silver production has decreased at Greens Creek from a year ago primarily because of a 25% lower silver ore grade, a rehabilitation work program completed on major underground intersections in the mine, as well as less favorable timing for accessing higher-grade workfaces due to development work. Mine production was hampered in the second quarter by significant waste haulage and power outages necessary in order to tie into the public utility services. The tonnage mined is expected to improve in the third and fourth quarters of the year.

Baker said, "We are anticipating total silver production company-wide for Hecla to be in the range of 6 million ounces for 2006, and are seeing the improvement in production levels that we expected at the Lucky Friday mine as more stopes come on line on the new level. However, while tonnage is expected to improve at Greens Creek during the second half of the year and there are no long-term issues, the ore grade would need to show significant improvement for the mine to achieve its earlier projected level of production for the year."

The La Camorra Unit, consisting of the La Camorra mine and Mina Isidora, produced 38,399 ounces of gold in Venezuela during the second quarter of 2006, a 42% increase in production over the same period a year ago, now that Mina Isidora is in operation. All the ounces required to be sold locally for the second quarter were sold, as well as the gold held in inventory at the end of March. There was no gold inventory held for local sales at the end of the quarter. The sale of the gold inventory held at the end of March contributed an additional $7.2 million in revenue for the quarter, and buyers have been identified for future in-country gold sales. The average gold ore grade for the two deposits increased to 0.699 ounce of gold per ton compared to 0.581 ounce per ton a year ago, due to the startup of Mina Isidora and its high-grade reserve. However, the mining cost per ton has increased primarily due to the mining process at Mina Isidora, unfavorable currency exchange controls and higher labor costs. The average total cash cost of production increased 7% from the same period a year ago, to $340 per ounce, and the average full cost of production increased to $502 per ounce of gold during the second quarter of 2006, primarily due to depreciation of the shaft completed last year at the La Camorra mine.



EXPLORATION



Lucky Friday



"We currently have a mine plan that takes us through 2013 with more than 60 million ounces in silver resources beyond that. Our exploration is designed to confirm the resource into the next decade," said Baker. "Although the potential increase in total resource for the year is not yet known, we would anticipate an increase in both proven and probable reserves as well as resources for Lucky Friday later this year." The Lucky Friday currently has about 90 million ounces of silver reserve and resources identified.

In 2005, underground exploration work doubled the proven and probable reserve at Lucky Friday and had considerable success on the eastern side of the deposit. Additional drilling on the east side this year looks very encouraging, and favorable host lithology at depth shows that the eastern economic limit may be increasing for the area below the 5900 level and has the potential to again increase the strike length of the deposit. Drilling on the west side of the deposit began this year down to the 6400 level and four out of five holes showed mineable ore grade up to 12 ounces of silver per ton, which is comparable to the current production ore grade being milled, but not as high grade as on the east side, where the average grade is close to 18.5 ounces of silver per ton. The bottom of the currently known resource is already about 1,000 feet deeper than the current mining level. A drilling program is now exploring 1,800 feet below the current mining level, to 7,700 feet below the surface at the shaft. Other recent in-fill drilling has yielded numerous vein intercepts. In addition to this drilling, exploration is occurring to the east, west and above the current mining level -- all of it previously untested. There is good potential for an untested, contiguous deposit in the 2,450-foot gap between the currently identified resource and where the historic deposit was mined nearer the surface. Baker said, "Even though there's been mining at the Lucky Friday for 60 years, there is still significant unexplored ground. Our exploration program will start to scratch the surface of those targets over the next year or so."



Greens Creek



At Greens Creek, a successful 2006 exploration program has defined a new resource in the West Gallagher Zone that will be calculated and added to the resource report at year-end. This ore zone is anticipated to grow in size over the next year as drilling continues in the open-ended resource. In addition, ore-grade intercepts have been intersected approximately 750 feet and 1,000 feet updip from the mining faces in the area known as the 5250 zone. If the ore proves to be continuous between the current work area and the new intercepts, significant new tonnage could be added to reserves, extending the life of the already long-lived Greens Creek mine even further.



Mexico



At the Hugh Zone exploration project on Hecla's San Sebastian property in central Mexico, additional success was achieved during the quarter. Work on a new resource estimate is underway and is expected to result in a significant increase in the current resource estimate of 4.1 million ounces of silver. Holes drilled during the second quarter show ore-grade intercepts on the western side of the deposit over a two-meter diluted width having net smelter return values of more than $300 per tonne. Two deeper holes have also been completed along the inflection point of the deposit, which intersected narrow veining containing argentite, the dominant silver sulfide. The Hugh Zone, a stacked system discovered beneath where Hecla has already mined, is a polymetallic deposit containing silver, copper, zinc, lead and gold.

Elsewhere on the San Sebastian property, the first hole drilled into a new target area, located 1.2 kilometers northeast from the Hugh Zone, encountered strong alteration and a 2.5-meter horizontal width, moderately banded quartz vein with nearly ore grade gold and silver mineralization. This vein intercept is very encouraging because it is a strong, banded vein structure containing silver and gold mineralization that has a long strike length potential. The San Sebastian exploration program has also identified several other soil anomalies that will be future exploration targets in this highly prospective silver district. Baker said, "This year we have increased our land package at San Sebastian more than 50%, because we now have multiple targets that indicate the large size of this rich geologic environment. So, for the rest of 2006 and in 2007, we expect to add resource, drill additional targets and identify even more targets."



Venezuela



Hecla's exploration in Venezuela is focused in three areas: the area adjacent to the La Camorra mine, resource additions at Mina Isidora and continued exploration on the Block B property surrounding Mina Isidora. At the La Camorra mine, the Southern vein system was identified as a result of sampling outcrops on the western end of the La Camorra tailings ponds. Five distinct structures were mapped on surface, returning gold values of up to 24 grams per tonne (gpt) (0.7 ounce per ton (opt)). During the second quarter, six holes were drilled to test the system, and all five structures were identified in the drill holes. The structures are pervasive, strongly altered and contain anomalous gold values, and Hecla is continuing with exploration there.

Resource estimation for Mina Isidora is in progress, following completion of the most recent drill program. Fourteen underground and 26 surface drill holes were completed for a total exceeding 9,700 meters to test both the M and S veins. Assays of intercepts include gold values as high as 155 gpt (4.5 opt) and 195 gpt (5.7 opt). Drilling appears to have been successful in confirming and expanding the resources and in identifying a new ore shoot.

Drilling of a downdip extension of the historic Panama mine, located approximately two kilometers to the northeast of Mina Isidora, is underway. Holes will target the downdip extension of the former Panama mine that historically produced 500,000 tonnes of ore at an average gold grade of 16 gpt (0.47 opt). The first drill hole intersected the vein approximately 50 meters below the old workings at a vertical depth of approximately 150 meters and returned an assay of 363 gpt gold (10.6 opt) over 0.41 meter. Two additional holes have been completed and assays are pending, and the drilling program continues.

Other targets in the Block B concessions will be drilled later this year.



Nevada



About 30% of the planned underground drilling has been completed at the Hollister Development Block gold-silver exploration property in northern Nevada's prolific Carlin Trend. The project is an earn-in to a 50/50 joint venture with Great Basin Gold (GBG). The exploration program is on track to allow a decision early next year on whether the deposit is economically mineable. The East lateral drift was completed in the second quarter, with the West lateral drift scheduled for completion in the fourth quarter. Total project-to-date underground development totals 6,139 feet. About 160 feet of drifting was completed on the Gwenivere vein, where the mineralized structure averaged approximately 0.8 ounce of gold per ton and 12 ounces of silver per ton over an average width of 3.8 feet (undiluted). Additional drifting on the Gwenivere vein and both the South and Central Clementine veins is planned in the fourth quarter to generate a bulk sample for metallurgical and mill testing.

To date, 42 drill holes have been completed for a total of 15,440 feet, out of the 55,000 feet planned for the total program. A second drill has arrived and is operating underground at the site, and diamond drilling is slated for completion by the end of the year. Intercepts have returned gold and silver grades generally ranging from mildly anomalous up to 8 ounces of gold per ton and 200 ounces of silver per ton. While there is not enough information yet to determine the economic viability of the deposit, drilling in some areas is generally verifying the grades, thicknesses and variability expected from previous drilling. The feasibility study for the project is on schedule for completion in the second quarter of 2007.



NEW EXPLORATION V.P.



Hecla is pleased to announce that Dr. Dean McDonald will be joining the company as Vice President -- Exploration, effective September 1, 2006.

======== ======= ======== ========(1) Cash costs per ounce of silver or gold represent non-U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measurements that
the company believes provide management and investors an
indication of net cash flow, after consideration of the realized
price received for production sold. Management also uses this
measurement for the comparative monitoring of performance of
mining operations period-to-period from a cash flow perspective.
"Total cash cost per ounce" is a measure developed by gold
companies in an effort to provide a comparable standard; however,
there can be no assurance that our reporting of this non-GAAP
measure is similar to that reported by other mining companies.
Cost of sales and other direct production costs and depreciation,
depletion and amortization, was the most comparable financial
measures calculated in accordance with GAAP to total cash costs.(2) Costs per ounce of gold are based on the gold produced by the La
Camorra mine and Block B concessions only. Gold produced from
third-party mining operations located near the La Camorra mine and
Block B concessions was treated as a by-product credit and
included in the calculation of gold costs per ounce.(3) During the first quarter and for most of the second quarter,
ending in June 2005, the mill that processed ore from San
Sebastian was closed due to a strike by mill employees. During the
second quarter and first six months of 2005, cost of sales and
other direct production costs of $0.9 million and $1.4 million,
respectively, were not included in the determination of total cash
costs for silver operations. Additionally during the second
quarter and first six months of 2005, San Sebastian recognized
depreciation, depletion and amortization expense of $0.5 million
and $0.9 million, which is reflected in the total for all
properties and combined silver properties above.(4) Includes approximately $907,000 related to San Sebastian cost of
sales and other direct production costs during the first quarter
of 2006 for prior period dore shipments.(5) Ounces mined from the 5900 level development project at Lucky
Friday in 2005 were not included in the determination of total
cash costs. During the second quarter and first six months of
2005, approximately 55,000 ounces and 58,000 ounces, respectively,
of silver were excluded from the calculation.

Nun, man sollte ein Investment in Betracht ziehen.
Ein Absturz ist hier eher unwahrscheinlich.
200% eher wahrscheinlich.
Das sollte doch genügen, oder?

Gut.

Hier also mein schlagendes Argument für den Kauf von Hecla Aktien:

Nach Lektüre der aktuellen Unternehmnskennzahlen (schöne 14 Seiten) stelle ich fest, dass die Kosten für eine Unze produziertem Silber
bei sagenhaft günstigen 4 $ liegen.

Man vergleiche diese Zahlen bitte einmal mit Endeavour oder Ecu.

Der fantastische Cashflow sollte ein Übriges sagen...

Übrigens liegen die Kosten pro Unze Silber bei durchschnittlich 2 $, jedenfalls wenn man den Selbstangaben glaubt.

Sehr, sehr fein.

Im Grunde kann man mit einem 4. Quartalsrevenue
von 100. Mio. Dollar rechnen (nach 50 Mio. im 3. Quartal) - und einem gewinn von 28 Mio. Dollar.

Da schlage ich jetzt mit bankaufmännischer Gelassenheit meinen Quartalsbericht auf und stelle fest:

Seite 4:

Sales: 50,414 Mio., bei einem mittleren Silberpreis von rund 11 Dollar (Siehe Seite 5, unteres Viertel)

Erst seit September haben wir jedoch deutlich höhere Preise, wodurch sich eine signifikante Cashflowmargin Upturnbewegung profilieren dürfte.

Ja schon klar,

Ich komme aber bestenfalls auf 70-75 Mio. USD Umsatz. Ist aber trotzdem ein super Ergebnis, und vielleicht wird es ja im 1. Qu. 2007 was mit den 100 Mio. Umsatz.

Zum Gewinn muss man sagen, dass zur Zeit sehr viel Geld in die Exploration gesteckt wird. Würde HL schon richtig viel verdienen wollen, könnten sie es machen...

Ja, mit Deinen 75 Millionen liegst Du sicher auch nicht schlecht.
Einigen wir uns auf 85 Millionen...

Der Gewinn ist mir zunächst einmal nicht so wichtig, da ich im Bericht ein paar unschöne Zahlen hinsichtlich der Minenlebensdauer gelesen habe.

Sprich: Man stelle sich einmal vor, was für überragende Projekte Hecla mit rund 120 Mio. Cash Ende des Jahres DAZUKAUFEN könnte!

Ohne Finanziereung!

Wie wäre es mit Orko?

Über ein vernünftiges Swapgeschäft und Hedging könnte man locker eine Milliarde beschaffen.

Ich hätte da persönliche Kontakte...

Sollte man dann nicht lieber gleich First Majestic kaufen?

Das Hauptasset von HL ist die Lucky Friday-Mine. Ich bin kein Geologe, aber ich les mich eben so rein und hab irgendwann irgendwo mal aufgeschnappt, dass bestimmte Minen einfach kaum ein absehbares Ende des Minenlebens haben. HL hat es nicht nötig, grossartig viele Reserven auszuweisen, die Lucky Friday-Mine läuft etwa seit 6 Jahrzehnten und jetzt wird die Förderung sogar hochgefahren.

Die Projekte drumrum kommen und gehen sozusagen.

FR kaufen? Das sollte sogar für HL unmöglich sein. Da gibt es Aktionäre, die wollen nicht verkaufen. Oder der Preis wäre zu hoch. Da würden 10 CAD bei weitem nicht reichen! So wie ich es sehe, steckt HL sein Geld gerade in die Entwicklung seiner Minen, das sollte ab 2007 Früchte tragen.

HL ist wie ein Gegenpol zur agressiven Aufkaufpotitik von FR. Weniger Risiko, solide finanziert und gut durchdacht. Die zwei passen eh nicht zusammen!

Swaps? Hedging?

Bitte nicht! Soll HL doch solide bleiben, dieses Geschäft verstehen sie. Auch wenn der Gedanke, mit 1 MRD. auf Einkaufstour zu gehen, verlockend ist, das kann auch ziemlich nach hinten losgehen.

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 25.941.392 von dieNachteule am 04.12.06 22:50:08

Du hast ja Recht.
War ohnehin nur Spass...

Klar: Da ist ein Menge Potenzial im Berg.

Der Bericht ist ja sehr ausführlich.

Wenn sie erst einmal unter die 2000 Fuß sind,
kommen da ganz andere Unzen aufs Papier.

Ich mache eben gerne Spässken.

Leben ist trocken genug.

Hecla stand heute in New York schon bei 7,68 Dollar.

Zur Zeit 7,28.

Hoher Umsatz, Tendenz steigender Kurs.

[Panem]

Sieht doch sehr schön aus:

HL zeigt Stärke. Sehr gut! Das Gap wurde gestern nebenbei geschlossen, und der Ausbruch erfolgreich getestet. Jetzt kanns weiterlaufen.

Aber Vorsicht! Nix für Zocker! Er beginnt in den 70ern...

Na, da sehe ich ja schon die 30 $ deutlich vor mir!

Spätestens 2050.

Aber im Ernst:
zweistellig dürften wir bald sein.

HL:


Kaufchance mit minimalem Risiko. Man muss aber breit sein, unter 7 sofort die Reissleine zu ziehen. Dann beträgt das Risiko ca. 3%, die Chance ist beträchtlich!

Irrtum liebe Nachteule
ich habe damals aufgrund deiner Expertise Hecla gekauft und freue mich (fast) jeden Tag)
Wir haben mit 7,84USD geschlossen(ein Plus von 7,1%)
Einfach mal Danke für diesen guten Rat.

Schön! Dann kannst du dir ja gleich mal Excellon anschauen, diese Aktie ist sowas von unterbewertet, das muss sich korrigieren...

Etwas zackig der Chart, ist halt keine Hecla, aber das wird schon mit steigendem Interesse.

liebe Nachteule
aber hallo,wer hat denn vor einigen monaten geraten,excellon zu kaufen?
Und als braver Leser und manchmal"Mitdenkender"habe ich mich auch,neben goldex und FS ,eingedeckt.
Du siehst,deine Ratschläge sind silberwert

Die Korrektur kam ja ziemlich rasch! Bzw. der Anfang der Korrektur natürlich...

Danke für das Kompliment! Vor zwei Tagen wollte mich jemand überzeugen, einen Börsenbrief o.ä. zu gestalten, aber eigentlich mache ich lieber mein Ding. Bin auch immer für interessante Aktien offen, sieben kann ich sie selber, wenn sie mir nicht gefallen.

Doch, doch, ist mir nicht verborgen geblieben.

HL ist ein unbekannter Schatz. Es gab einfach supergute Quartalszahlen. HL investiert ordentlich und verdient immer noch gutes Geld.

Wie auch immer...Drinbleiben????

Hecla Mining


könnte formal betrachtet bald ein Doppeltop ausbilden. Das starke OBV und der weiter auf Kauf stehende MACD sprechen eher für den Break, und die durch den Indikatior "Volume by price" ausgedrückten Widerstände sind gering.

Gelingt der Break, haben wir den Ausbruch aus einer Untertasse. Der Langfristchart ist, wie letztes jahr schonmal dargelegt, eh sehr bullisch.

HL halten, bei Break zukaufen!

Doppeltop geb ich dir Recht.


Aber was anderes: Bin ich blind ? Wo ist denn der Henkel der Tasse ?!

[eloesch]

Was ist los ? Die alte Hecla interessiert keinen mehr?

Weiß hier keiner was?

[realex]

Es geht wieder aufwärts.
Die Entflechtung hat gehörig Wirbel und sinnlos Panikstimmung verursacht. Aber im Aktiengeschäft geht´s eben nicht rationell zu.

Wenn der physische Goldpreis weiter stabil bleibt, müsste auch
ALLIED NEVADA GOLD CORP die gleiche Richtung einschlagen.

Na also! Knapp 8! Meine Prognose vom 16.7. sieht gut aus.
Trotz wackligem Goldpreis neuer Hecla Höchststand!!"

Ich hoffe, auch viele Andere haben so gut mit verdient!
