I think the reality of the gold business lies in forward sales and hedging - companies have to face this and have to use forward selling to finance new projects in many cases. Barrick has been the leader in this - no question - so it is easy to make them the bogey man, but IMO I think they should not be set up as a straw man. Barrick has also been a leader in gold mining practice - focusing on reducing mining costs. We're not talking about philantrophy here -we're talking about the most efficient business practice and risk management.
