WAF fell -3.7% on Monday, although we could have easily picked a number of gold or ESG stocks with both groups under pressure at the start of the week. WAF has struggled for the last 2-years, and it’s an aggressive/optimistic call to pick a turn as the whole sector drifts after rallying strongly since early October. We believe the gold stocks are a “buy into dips”, but in the case of WAF, it’s hard to know how deep the next dip could be.
- We are bullish on gold stocks into 2024, but we prefer the likes of Evolution (EVN), Northern (NST) or Silver Lake Resources (SLR) at the more speculative end of town.
