Everyone gets grumpy when they lose money. I've been investing in stocks long enough to see how moods change with the price action. Whatever the good or bad moves this company has made in the past two years, the larger reality is the price of gold and silver has been weak at best (long term correction) and the price of mining stocks, large and small, has been pathetic across the board. If most of us, who believe in precious metals long term are right, once the price of silver (and now gold for this company) start to turn around, my guess is that the price and fortunes of this company and stock also turn around. Many of us are looking for much higher prices for both gold and silver in the coming years. Now that our company mines both, we will benefit if gold outperforms, plus we now have a more diversified company.
September has traditionally been the beginning of the best seasonal period for precious metals. We may only be days or weeks away from the next gold and silver bull market. If this comes to pass, I predict that this board will be in the "happy days are here again" mode soon enough.
