RE: SSL & SND i hold both, and in my opinion both are worth holding long term. i added to both in the past two weeks and will continue to buy. if you are worried about the prices dropping, just buy a third position in both at these levels and then add more on dips. I believe SSL is ready for a breakout, as they should be recieving increased gold shipments this quarter. James Hodgins #1 pick last night on market call tonight should now give this stock some more exposure. Cormark has a $1.70 price target on SSL which will move higher as the company signs more deals. They expect to sign at least 2 more deals this year. if you read my previous posts you will see that i complain about these stocks coz i dislike so much dillution. the dillution makes this a longer term hold. it will be boring to watch, however..look what happened to silver wheaton over time. Also, both companies will be take over targets once the resources really begin to be delivered to each company. Management is agressive, and does excellent due dillegence on their deals and put in financial insurances as well. I also think this management will find ways to reward the shareholders annually, as they did this year with the spinout of SND. 2011 should see SSL receiving 25,000- 40,000 ounces of gold from their 6 partnerships so do the math. I hope I helped a little. Love the volume today. Good times ahead for those who have patience. GLTA MOW99
