NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Silvercrest Mines (SVLC) has been downgraded by TheStreet Ratings from Hold to Sell with a ratings score of D+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate SILVERCREST MINES INC (SVLC) a SELL. This is driven by multiple weaknesses, which we believe should have a greater impact than any strengths, and could make it more difficult for investors to achieve positive results compared to most of the stocks we cover. The company's weaknesses can be seen in multiple areas, such as its generally disappointing historical performance in the stock itself, feeble growth in its earnings per share, deteriorating net income and disappointing return on equity." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows: ◾The share price of SILVERCREST MINES INC has not done very well: it is down 12.36% and has underperformed the S&P 500, in part reflecting the company's sharply declining earnings per share when compared to the year-earlier quarter. Looking ahead, other than the push or pull of the broad market, we do not see anything in the company's numbers that may help reverse the decline experienced over the past 12 months. Despite the past decline, the stock is still selling for more than most others in its industry. ◾SILVERCREST MINES INC has experienced a steep decline in earnings per share in the most recent quarter in comparison to its performance from the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern earnings per share over the past two years. During the past fiscal year, SILVERCREST MINES INC reported lower earnings of $0.07 versus $0.25 in the prior year. ◾The company, on the basis of change in net income from the same quarter one year ago, has significantly underperformed when compared to that of the S&P 500 and the Metals & Mining industry. The net income has significantly decreased by 54.1% when compared to the same quarter one year ago, falling from $2.87 million to $1.31 million. ◾Return on equity has greatly decreased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of major weakness within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Metals & Mining industry and the overall market on the basis of return on equity, SILVERCREST MINES INC underperformed against that of the industry average and is significantly less than that of the S&P 500. ◾The revenue fell significantly faster than the industry average of 0.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues fell by 40.8%. The declining revenue appears to have seeped down to the company's bottom line, decreasing earnings per share.

who are these idiots . ..  comparing Silvercrest to S&P500 index and crying about less income in last Q when the open pit was winding down.  Amazing they did not mention even once that the price of silver has dropped.

Hey Mates, We should keep in mind these are the same pundits that are saying the DOW and S&P are going much much higher and that investors should continue buying. They also say gold and silver are the worst investments one can invest in these days. That's the only way they can get on CNBC. We have to take their views with a grain of salt. SVL is one of the lowest AISC produicers in the
