The time to buy stocks is often when most potential buyers’ attention
is elsewhere and that is certainly the case with White Gold Corp. (WGO:TSX.V; WHGOF:OTCQX; 29W:FRA) where most investors seem to have “gone walkabout”. It looks forlorn and abandoned after a grueling 15-month downtrend, yet, as we will see, this is a very good point for it to reverse to the upside and there are plenty of reasons for it to do so.
Let’s start by looking at the technicals.
On the 6-year chart we can see that White Gold had a massive rally late in 2016 and early 2017 that took it as high as about CA$2.30 but after that it has tended to drift lower and lower with long downtrends punctuated by relatively brief sharp rallies.
Importantly there appears to be a zone of strong support in the
CA$0.40 to CA$0.50 zone which the price has now arrived at after the latest downtrend, so this would be good point for it to turn up, which is made more likely by the strong On-balance Volume line which is close to making new highs (Accum – Distrib is still weak), and the improving background of gold and silver at last looking ready to begin a major uptrend.
Zooming in via the 2-year chart we see that the latest downtrend from the 2020 peak really has been a long and grueling one and this of course increases the chances of it turning higher. The arrival at what looks like a cyclical low at strong support, the relative strength of the On-balance Volume line and the increasing bunching of price and moving averages together make the chances of its reversing soon high.
The 6-month chart by itself still looks grim with the price trending lower beneath falling moving averages, so as buyers here we should remain aware that it could take a while to get moving.
What about the fundamentals?
They look impressive.
White Gold has a large land position in the Yukon and a range of promising prospects. Drilling is ongoing with a stream of drilling results expected going forward, which could of course spark a sudden rally if favorable. In addition, there are some heavyweight investors in the company including Agnico Eagle with a 17.3% stake, Kinross also with a 17.3% stake, and Eric Sprott and Strategic Institutions also own sizeable stakes, so that the percentage of stock in the float is low, as you can see in the chart below.
It should also be clear from this chart that there are some big fish circling this company – it is a takeover candidate and any takeover would obviously result in a dramatic appreciation in the stock price.
White Gold is therefore regarded as a strong buy here so we stay long – we bought it rather too early back in August at about CA$0.56 - fresh purchases are in order, and it is not regarded as being unduly speculative.
Here is a link to some interesting presentation slides by the company.
