I don't know Mish how they did it. But they hedged 4.8M ounces at $370 and cover at an average of say $US550. So that is above $800M paper loss. They said $814M, not not me.

Maybe this is paper loss or unrealized profits in the same way they got paper profits back in the 1996-2001 period. Still, over all It was not a good move.

They still have 6-7M ounces hedged at much lower prices which they intend to cover partially this year and will be hedge-free by 2009.
