SP performance is about as pathetic as SGR's over the last year. I don't know why some of the producers with potential to actually pull the stuff out of the ground and put it through a mill have had such brutal performance. I don't think it's as company specific as some have made it out to be but an all out effort by the paper hangers and fiat keynesian clowns to put a negative spin on gold producers. Look at the brutal performance of the HUI compared to the actual bullion. It's a war and possibly a way for the cartel's gold miner ABX to go out and get some proven resources on the cheap before this thing blows sky high.
As for Barry Cooper, MSM can massage that downgrade anyway they like but he actually cut his target last year from $6.00 to $4.75 in October so where does $5.50 come from and who in their right mind can trust this guys analysis? His track record sucks and his performance is about as bad as Jag's and San Gold's share price.
Jag's performance sure as hell isn't attributed to Goodman but they do have 1 thing in common with SGR other than gold production and shonky performance, Oppenheimer has been loading up big time on both over the last 12 months where they are now the largest shareholder in Jag and the second largest shareholder in San Gold behind Goodman so if they're looking to control price to buy more, they can sell any NR as they see fit.
