The sad fact is a lot of people think that the price of gold or for that matter the price of oil has a bearing on the price of a company's stock because that has been historically true in the past. Unfortunately, that does not seem to be the case right now and hasn't for several months whatever the reason. There is very little correlation to the price of a commodity with the price of a share in a company dealing with that commodity right now. Just because people get excited about the price of gold should not be spun as a bunch of liars with differing agendas selling dreams. A lot of us look for reasons why this stock should be higher and the price of gold should figure in as an indication, along with a lot of other things. For instance, you are hung up on the timing of management's information releases, because you really don't know how or don't have the resources to do real DD. You are depending on the company to realease information that you feel will tell you that it is not a sham company. That is a bootstrapping argument as most sham companies won't tell you that they are anything other than legitimate. I really am suprised you are still in the stock, quite frankly.
