Gold Standard Ventures (GSV)

[nyc13]

Anyone have a theory why GSV is trading up and holding in a down market today? Maybe there's a news release on the horizon? Or is it more about the pressures on the economy/cost of oil and investors making a move back into gold?

Also, has anyone noticed how difficult it is to sell shares of gsv? I realize there usually isn't much volume (usually 50,000-250,000 on a good day) but when I try and sell 3-8k shares nothing sells and the price will skip right over my ask to a higher bid. Any suggestions other than selling shares without conditions, which can end up costing a lot in trading fees w this stock? Thanks!
