RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Bad Trend Chelsea,
Ask yourself why you bought this stock in the first place. Did you believe it was a well-run company, with lots of growth potential and a diverse resource portfolio?
If yes, then don't let this hickup and the drop in price cause you to panic. If the drop is due to protesting miners, then this is a problem that will very likely take care of itself.
No one can or should tell you what to do. None of us know what will happen next, but it seems unlikely that these miners have a lot of political clout. If arsenic were leaching into the environment and it were found that swaths of land had been contaminated and the environmental lobby were up in armes - then we'd have cause for real concern. But who stands behind this group of protesters? What incentive does the government have to listen to them and disallow BTO from expanding their operations? The gov't stands to gain economically from any increase of activity byt BTO in the form of increased royalties, employment and spinoff activity.
Don't know enough about the story, but this type of event is far from unheard of. It provides the perfect opportunity to run the price down through shorting. The longer we don't hear of a resolution to the protests, the more fear will grow and people will throw away their shares on the cheap only to regret that action later.
As I said, no one can tell anyone what to do. But we have to keep things in perspective.
All we need news is that the protest are over or that some sort of resolution has come about and the price will snap back. Some people have the stomach to buy when fear is greatest...
