The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday, April 10, edition that Morningstar gives a
five-star rating to Iamgold ($3.88) and Yamana Gold ($9.60), which is its
strongest buy signal (all figures Canadian unless otherwise stated). The Globe's David Milstead writes in the Vox column that Morningstar pegs Iamgold's fair
value at $7.50, nearly twice its
close on Wednesday. Morningstar gives Yamana
Gold a fair value of $17, again significantly ahead of yesterday's close. Morningstar
uses futures contracts to
estimate gold prices over the
next three years, and then
assumes a price of $1,255 (U.S.)
per ounce in 2017.
