Can someone please confirm what a 'put' is?
I'm seeing it as a commitment from another party to buy 28,736 ozs IGR gold at (in this case) A$1236 an oz. This commitment has time frames on it as per the announ. and this has cost IGR $3m. BUT if IGR cannot deliver or dont want to deliver we dont have to.???
The taker of this 'PUT' is really saying they expect gold to rise above A$1236 by DEC/MAR
and IGR have locked in a minimum price of A$1236 if they have the gold to deliver by DEc/Mar.
If thats the case to me it seems like pretty good insurance by IGR.
