Hecla Mining Company (HL) Options

their long time CEO: Phil Baker (what a tool) walked off last year.
There was a temporary leader in place for awhile.
I've followed HL daily for 52 years.
My conclusion: HL is a trading stock, not a long term investment by any means.
Buy it when silver is low or the shares are depressed. sell it when people are piling in.
rinse and repeat.
The evidence that supports my verdict is: pull up the 50 year chart of the stock price. it's very very very bad compared to, for example, coca cola or costco

$5.06 Starting a bull, call position here!

Reporting a loss when Gold is at an all time high? is it time for a new CEO?

I'd settle for 7.30 ... Today's performance would be hard to duplicate so soon.

Let’s go 7.50 tomorrow

Gap Phil yest. Not participating. Focused on CRE/banks!

11.61% move. Nobody here to notice. Sweet!

Anyone talking about the chemical fire happening at the mine this week? Total evacuation. Unknown when anyone will go back to work. A nasty haze is covering the town of Mullan.

Hecla just keeps on walking up slowly……It should be so much higher based on proven and probable reserves

Peru miners on strike…….A WTF moment for the shorts! …..Tomorrow should be great entertainment.

Peru miners on strike…….A WTF moment for the shorts! …..Tomorrow should be great entertainment.

Nice flag pattern

Come on Phil, do a buyback with this silver price increase.

That broken record of Hecla being around forever and that you are just now getting to the good stuff....we stole Alexco and things are going great…..Avoid Montana, they hate you! ……yada yada

Come on 30.00 silver.

As we get closer to the implementation of Basil 3, those who are short and have PUTs will panic. My guess is that Citadel has a bunch of those 6.00 CALLs as a cover for their large short position.

I’m wondering if this can make 9.00 by 1/1?

Zinc might be the thing that gets this company noticed. …..Anyhow, Just two short months until everything changes.

Silver Eagles are selling above 37.00…..When are the miners going to revolt? Hecla should be receiving a whole lot more than 19.00.

Basil 3 starts In January. ….Is there enough cash allocation in the entire world to cover the current silver short position?

This is a good start for the India Wedding Season.

Yawn,,,,,sort of interesting that thousand ounce bars sold out first this time. It would imply that big money is behind this run up.

What I see is that SD Bullion is completely out of thousand ounce bars, 90% dimes and quarters……The price for silver is about rise, as likely this is related to implementation of Basil III which should restrain the manipulation of Silver in particular.(Basil III was delayed one year)

Things are about to get interesting as the Comex was sold a while back, I cannot help but wonder if someone will be left holding an empty bag?

There must be some very good news pending as everything else is being whacked……Phil must have stolen another company (AXU)

Hecla taking a hit but Bitcoin is being cut off at the knees. …

The Dow goes down 3% but Hecla goes down 8% despite gold being up a little. I’m sure this is totally natural

No, I’m almost certain they have no ties at all.

Connection to Russia. Hecla did not.

does Hecla have any sources of trade or partner ship in Russia?

I took a position today.
My reason is simple.
Inflation.
