"possible 'manipulation' by 'da Syndicate' for some ulterior motive." Silver

Not sure that there is a free-trading gold stock (or any other for that matter) on any market, but today's action vis a vis SAN appears, from my perch to be manipulated, although the markets generally are having a down day. Several gold equities are having a nice run (SMF, RMX, etc) in spite of gold's gyrations and the overall market, but SAN appears to be "held down" by some invisible force!

Just who might that be?
