I recall once reading Ron Struthers about PZG-- after it acquired some p.m. company, PZG's stock dropped and wallowed for a number of months.... He said the market tends to be hard on acquiring cos. after an M&A. Then after a while of wallowing, the stock zoomed 3-fold. Likely big gains will happen for AUMN, likewise, after spending a period in investor's "no mans land"....
