I think there is still a lot of uncertainty out there, some folks are gold bugs while there are those who believe this is a real recovery that is underway... a lot of jr gold companies remain undervalued. SGR tracks gold for the most part as well. There may well be manipulation that is taking place (but just how much it controls the real SP is anybodies guess) but if that is true then the same can be said for many if not most other jr plays out there, we arent alone here... I lean more towards the sad state of venture stocks, there are many articles that discuss how JR's have trailed both the majors and gold. Seems to me the stars need to align themselves better before we really take off.

if money comes back into JR companies and gold remains strong then SGR would do very well. also I mentioned this in a previous post and still believe that it seems that SGR only moves well on multiple NR's if we could couple that with a rally in GOLD then who knows...i was really hoping gold would do well this week, can you imagine what might have happened to SP if gold went up 30 or 40 dollars yesterday or even today...we lost some of our momentum...
