I remember hearing there are a million reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. I guess since it is the "summer doldrums" we can sit here and exhaust all of those million reasons...or just except it for what it is, NOISE. It's the nature of the market itself and is truly amplified on the Venture exchange. Just keep in mind these moves happen both ways. At some point the cycle WILL be in our favor and the market will be on the opposite spectrum and grossly OVERVALUE quality mining stocks. That is a guarantee folks.
