Newmont's Q2 results were in line with my forecast. I'm buying the dip as cash flow will increase further, NEM is still undervalued, and asset sales will act as a bullish catalyst. The shares could still drift lower before they reverse, but I still expect NEM to hit new highs for the year within the next few months.
