B2Gold (BTO.to) reported its 3q10 yesterday afternoon and there are two sides to the coin here.
Heads: The numbers were good. Here are three charts that track the stock (subscribers: more charts and analysis on Sunday in IKN80) showing assets, liabilities and revenues/earnings development. All went in the right direction.
Tails: The numbers had to be good this time, because this stock can only justify its current $730m market cap by returning numbers that say "we're getting better" and positioning itself as a growth story. The $10.93m in operational revenues does that, but it's not exactly a blowout either.
Final point: Watch out for a possible "BNN effect" on BTO.to, as reader 'JC' kindly mailed last night to note this:
