Stockwinners is bullish on this name for the following reasons:

1. It seems that gold has found its support and is ready to move to the upside. With the shaky price action in the market today, gold seems like a good hedge as GLD price action is indicating money moving to gold. ABX is an indirect play in the gold bounce.
