My 2 centsFirst off, we have been going down in SP on very low volume, this tells me that I shouldn't put too much focus on the SP right now. The same would be true on a low volume rise. Silver and gold will eventually break one way or another and I am thinking that they will have an explosive move upwards in the very near future, propelling silver up near and possible beyond the $13 level and gold well above $900.
SST has been lagging, just like most other PM stocks due to overall stock market weakness, nothing more IMHO. We either see a key divergence between PM stocks and the overall market soon, or we wait patiently for the overall markets to have their feel-good Obama rally which should last at least a month or two once he decides to spend lots of money that they don't have.
Good luck.
