RE: pressure on stock price? Probably. Still too many traders in SBB. All they do is trade on emotion. Every day, they devote themselves to finding any piece of nothing upon which to make an emotional decision. Nothing makes them happier than to spook the herd of fools, so they can profit from their idiocy. SBB never has and never will be dependent on Newmont mining. Further, what Newmont mining has done is just a ploy to get more free handouts from the government. If Newmont mining can't make a go of it with gold at $1750 per ounce and rising, why were they there years earlier when gold was less than $1000 per ounce???? Yet people are selling today. Amazing... why do these people ever buy stocks in the first place?
