RE: RE: Up and away "Up and a way? Have you looked at the chart?
Listen its OK to be optimistic... but we are still in a down trend."
Down trend? LOL!
In steep declines as experienced by GSR, the bounce back is usually V shaped and statistically, will capture 1/3 of the decline. In the case of GSR, it has excellent share structure, is thinly traded and hosts a low public float (ie: something charts do not tell you). As evidenced by the chart, one would think that GSR ceased operations. A closer look at the share structure reveals that when everyone wants to sell, the floor is going to give. The same holds true to the extent that when everyone wants to buy, the ceiling is going to give. This market inefficiency is what presents opportunities in the stock market. Given time, however, these steep fluctuations and a more appropriate value will be reflected in the stock price. Right now, and absent geophysical surveys and conclusions of the 2012 work season, I think a fair estimate of value is $0.45 per share in regards to GSR. This price approximates the bounce back on overreaction and DOES NOT represent enterprise value (ie: like how much the properties as a whole can fetch in the open market if sold).
The likes of GSR, ECC and CSL represent "grass root" early stage exploration plays in a safe and friendly jurisdiction. All one has to do is look at a map and plot where discoveries have been made to conclude that the prospects are excellent. Why GSR drilled without first undertaking a geophysical survey is beyond me. Most likley, these initial drills were rooted in investor demand. Had some imagery been present, GSR could very well have concluded that they had to drill deeper and or drill to the right by 100 meters (or left depending upon which direction you are facing). The point being that these investment types are high risk and high rewarding. In the case of GSR, nothing was concluded in regards to these drill results. The potential that existed last week still exists this week. Share structure, however, worked against GSR in that a sell off became a crash.
