The beat down in spmust mean that the shareholders read a different nr than I did. Shorts are having their way and spooked the herd. It seems that when Joe talks the sp tanks, no matter what he says. Personally, I think gold is in for a good run when the bottom falls out of the bluechips that have had a good long run. As the US greenback gains strength it will curtail foreign buying and then what. Possibly devaluation. Gold really shines when the blues get the blues. No doubt in my mind that this stock is well manipulated by big money. Fundamentals seem allright for Pretium as does the gold trend so the big downtick is surprising other than the fact that it has happened more than once. glta and dyodd
