"I have no problem with long term appreciation ... but this is becoming a bit of an underperformer  .. far as I can tell only CM has enough dough to keep buying what is becoming a grossly undervalued stock ... how convenient for him if it stays this way .... we the shareholders deserve more and we better start getting it."

 You must have taken those words right out of my mouth        .......my exact same thoughts!!  Admittedly I haven't owned this stock for too long     .....began buying about a month ago and loaded up a few weeks ago.   (I am currently still in the red c/o the recent pullback in stock price.)      But looking back over a few years I noticed that MGM was once at 60 cents (2-3 years ago, which would correspond to a price of 1.20 today  ....hence a huge loss for those shareholders over the years IN SPITE OF A HUGE INCREASE IN GOLD over that same time frame  ...and AUQ was also well into the 50-60 cent range (again, well over a buck after taking into account the 2:1 stock conversion into CSG)     So what is up with that?   Is the management team too "heavy at the top" with options and benefits and salaries "gouging the lowly shareholders" or is there something else going on?    Or is it merely that the market has some catching up to do now with CSG now and that over the next 12 months we stand to be rewarded?     Or we destined to become "bagholders for the underperforming AUQ/MGM management team"?    I wish I knew.   

 I don't mean to play the negative guy.    But my stake in this company is such that I can't help but to wonder where this company is going to take my investment.    Its past performance is NOT reassuring when one takes  into consideration of gold's tremendous gains over the past few years.   But on the other hand the market appears now to be undervaluing CSG significantly          ....UNLESS there is something going on that I don't know about.    ........I tend to have lousy luck with these sorts of stocks          ...hence my very conservative optimism.    On the other hand my luck is bound to change eventually!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!     And besides, it is undeniable that CSG's reserves and production are increasing tremendously over the next couple of years.     But again, just how much of that will eventually be reflected in the stock price (as opposed to management's wallets) is the key question.   Like you say       ...us shareholders (especially the ones who have held MGM or AUQ over the past few years) DESERVE BETTER           ......with gold now over 800 and MGM/AUQ gong DOWN from 1.20 to 0.70 over the past 2-3 years         .............well, SOMETHING CLEARLY DOES NOT ADD UP HERE.     What gives?      (Or is this the buying opportunity of a lifetime?)      I don't know.     One thing is for sure:    Indiscriminate stock dilution, greed,  and indiscrminate handing out of stock options will kill a stock performance more than anything else.   I can only hope and pray that that is not what is the logical explanation here.   I don't know the "insides of this company" well enough to truly  know.    But as a sizable shareholder I find myself wondering about these things.
