No opinion on the short position, but I agree with you that gold and silver stocks are down across the board. And while there's always exceptions, SDRG is not one of them. Whether it rebounds when the others do, that remains to be seen. From the cheap seats it looks like someone wants it held down, so I don't expect to see it shoot up on a feather.
But hey, you never know, I've seen some pretty cool jumps in stocks that appeared to be dead and buried. I've also seen strong solid stocks go belly up. Gamblers, we are, one and all.
