Bottom Line:
- Led by the inimitable Ross Beaty, Chairman, Equinox Gold is, over the long run, as close to a sure payoff to Gold investors as one can get. Need I say more?
- No personal holding, but that is my omission.
- The current price ($10.10 USD) is about right for a +33% gain in the next 4-6 months.
