wep45, although the obvious answer that will explain today's lossses is that the markets are getting hit big time today and therefore GL is just  following the market down. However this stock is performing very poorly in general and in my mind it is a direct result of corproate culture of the company which does not put stock price as a priority, which in my opinion is a mistake. Having said that I believe it will change shortly as pressure surely will mount to get the story of this great company out and the story told properly. JMHO
