RE: weaknessWell there is the sell in may and go away thoery,meaning shares of most companies go down over the hot summer months-in most years.Also the price of platinum has gone down. Extra expenses and engineering with the proposed mine,general market weakness,people look at the chart,its headind south,so you might figure sell now,buy back in a month or two and make a little cash.Also other stocks are having there margins eliminated or reduced,so you must sell something to cover,not just the concerned stock.And mayby just investor fatigue,some like to trade,sell and buy something with a little more beta.Lastly,poltical risk,South Africa is not Equador or Venezuala,but there are letter writers,Paul Van Eeden-who is from South Africa,who believes the Political risk is too great to risk his money,as many others who are nervous about South Africa and Africa in general.For the record,I hold alot of PTM and will buy more as conditions permit.
