We should stop complaining about the lack of news, TSX listing and 43-101 and reflect on the 237% gain we made in 2009. I am as impatient as anyone for the stock to hit $5.00, and it will this year, but I feel very lucky to have been a long term holder of SGR. I don't know much about the author of this index but I like his index because I own a number of his components including SGR, MFN,TMM and NGD. The following are extracts from the seeking alpha article referenced in the above URL.
