RE: vtr hanging in .. so far EAG - don't know anything about the company, but my general thought would be that it might be a little early to be in the really speculative stuff. I think the established juniors will lead first, but don't expect VTR or the other laggards (eg most of the TSX-V) to do much unti the uptrend's better established in the bigger players. Personally, I like RIO, AR, CNL, CSI, FR and SSL in the near-term. There are probably others as well, but these ones have held up pretty well today, and over the whole corrective period.
VTR's still got to many black clouds hanging over it in terms of market perception to move right now (eg 'mgmt's a great bunch of guys, but they'll just never make money with 5 million oz of gold, blah, blah, blah, if they could just get the grade up over 2 g/ton or 200 g/ton or 2000g/ton then maybe they'd be worth a look, blah blah blah...)
