Roebear, me again... One last word on RGLD and I really mean it this time :)

I am surprised they didn't do even better

Royal does use hedging, about a quarter of their production is sold forward at an average price of $258 for the next 3 years.

There's also the issue of reserves, they're mining in the neighborhood of 1 million ounces a year and they have less than 5 years of mining life. They need some M/A and they only have $4 million in cash to do it with -- share dilution?
