Jay,

I don't disagree with you. As we all know, all gold stocks and most resources stocks have had a very rough time. Argonaut is a very good company in a bad environment. Would you rather own either of the two darlings of the gold Mining business, Barrick or Goldcorp?

Given the circumstances, I am happy with the performance of Ar. Do I need it to do better, of course I do. I have lost a lot of money on this play and am trying to minimize my losses and my pie in the sky would be to actually make some money.

Seeing the reaction to the NR today is encouraging for sure .

I am hopeful that we will see more days like today so that my wife will soon forget about my investing shortcomings !!!
