I think the new year started the last week of December as book squaring and tax loss selling would have happened prior to the last week. We did see some nice appreciation of the stock on relatively flat gold last week, which may have been why we didnt benefit so much from the move up in gold to start this week. in any case as i have said in a previous post when we started the correction in early december and gold dropped down to 1130 SGR fell to 3.30 today gold is 1115 and we are sitting at 3.65 as of this writing. All in all i cant complain as we have shown some strength of late.
