One topic I neglected to mention but that was recalled by Mercury19 in another place was the large short position that showed up suddenly about mid November - "Hugh recognized that as of Nov. 15th there's been over 2.0 mln shares shorted and doesn't know who it would/could be."

If Goldman Sachs has been instigating shorting of gold, perhaps this influenced some larger investment groups to short SGR as well. It seem GS is anticipating a US dollar rally. Interestingly, our Cdn$$ in now back below par. How things change in just a few days time!
Any thoughts on this, anyone?
