WAF has been the best-performing resource stock on the main board, advancing an impressive +58% year-to-date. This gold miner has been rotating around current levels since April, and we see no reason to pre-empt the next move in either direction. The company delivered a solid 1H net profit of $92.2mn in August, which has flowed into Macquarie, upgrading the stock’s target price target to $2.

- Gold is likely to dictate moves in WAF into Christmas. It looks rich, above $1.60, and good buying, around $1.20.
