Excellent post belted, you mentioned the market crash and POG are always a risk and I agree with your analysis. I believe it is because of those fears that SGR receives most of it's criticism. We all see the huge upside potential and I think many hope that it will take off or be taken out before either of those major events wacks us all. Unfortunately hard rock mining for stealth gold takes time and money. I feel that anyone in the market has to decide why they are in the market and if they can handle the risks and the stress that goes along with it. I decided long ago that I do not want to be in cash, just watching my investments slowly erode away, and as such ended up in the sector that IMHO is the least risky of the risky. As soon as SGR steps over the threshold and becomes a profitable producer, much of the risk evapourates and you have the "relative safety" of Goldcorp with the upside potential of an explorer.
