Glad I sold my FN long ago. I suppose this deal means FN sees no problem with huge hedges driven by not just gold market but also by a long-term decline in Australian currency. Since the US dollar looks toppy and its reversal would reverse the leverage that's been working for Normandy, I see this deal as adding unwelcome currency and market price insecurity (i.e., a bet in the wrong direction) unless they close out hedges. If they do I might get back in.

Russ, can't be done. 19.9% is max under Aust. law. If they go above that they must then proceed with a full take-over offer. Henrik
