This is too much upward pressure, especially since UTS stopped paralleling today. My guess is one of several things is about to happen:

1. Correction impending.

2. PP coming soon, so someone is artifically boosting the SP. But what could a PP be for? No real need at the present time, as the capex and drilling needs are ostensibly met at the present time. Unless of course some new capital project (the pipeline?) is going to be announced soon, and funding is needed.

3. Announcement next week that sustained production meeting targets has finally been achieved (not likely, but possible). But that shouldn't stir things that much - we know that we're already pretty close to target at GD, finally.

If not one of the above, then those of us who have been sitting here for years and all the time wishing that the SP would rise, but secretly knowing that it would be about 2010 before that would happen, may be finally getting our wish?

I still hope for a correction. I'd like to buy a bit more, but can't afford it quite yet. Maybe in early February.
