Is The Recent Destruction Of Golden Minerals’ Share Price Justified?

Looking at the Golden Minerals (AUMN) chart since September 13, you would think that their mine had caved in or someone had stolen all the cash they had in the bank. What has actually happened, however, is they raised $37M by issuing 19% more shares at $5.75, with investors buying those shares hand-over-fist, in a single day, as a great bargain. In my previous article I explained why the issuance of extra shares at $5.75 does not imply that the fair value of the stock has to drop to $5.75. In fact, such an issuance might actually increase the fair value of the stock, if it increases the expected future cashflow for the company (which it did in the case of AUMN, as the newly raised cash will allow them to perform the production expansion to 850 tpd throughput and beyond in 2013).
