> Selling three or four years of future production and writing naked calls on mines that produce at $250 to $275 cash cost is blatantly bad business (and I think failed) practice.

Who is doing that, not any of the majors ? Cash costs at Barrick are $135, Placer is at $159, Newmont at $175, etc.... Most of them are under $200/ounce. Even Gold Fields is down ot $200/ounce cash costs. Also, I look at it as selling forward under 20% of reserves, in most cases.
