times like this can be frustrating when the stocks underperform the bullion, as it is supposed to be the other way around. i have no doubt that mining shares will have their day, i just don't know when it will be. but the divergence from what they should be worth and what they are selling for continues to grow.

this particular company has done almost everything right, and should be reaping the benefits of its success, but you'd never know it from the current share price. as long as you understand the fundamentals of silver and gold, you won't get shaken out of your positions. but silver standard is having a conference call tomorrow, so if you want to vent, there's a place where it might do some good.
