I gave a pretty negative read of the technicals of SME, Stormcat not too long ago...it was so negative, my review it was, I thought I would get some heat for its being so...In fact it was right on...and since, and since my partial liquidation of shares, the shares have headed south as strongly suggested they would. (I get the sense that a concerted effort has come on to this thread by one time posters to pump this issue...but maybe that's just me thinking negative....) It'll be real interesting if this free fall can be arrested at the $4.20 - $4.00 level...about where I'm going to get out if there isn't some strength. Given the Canadian security laws I don't have one twit of faith in anything I read about these small cap energy and metal stocks, including the claims about SME's great management...(Any time something is repeated three times...don't believe it...) ...The Vancouver stocks are by and large, in my opinion, manipulated / pumped kite jobs - to generally be avoided....though I don't.. Furthermore in the realm of my advice to me: Don't believe in anything with regards the Vancouver exchange issues unless you've pretty well researched it - that's my opinion and unfortunately there are few that fit that bill with me...Play them for the momentum and get out quick - that's the game...until real earnings, audited, with dividends prove otherwise. What seems to have just recently happen is a group of these small cap foreign companies have had ramp jobs...rather typical of the very end of a cycle....Far more concerned am I about the REAL energy companies I own, for what this potentially late cycle activity portends, than I am about the fortunes of what to bees SME et al... stockcharts.com [h,a]dbcayyay[dc][pc20!h.02,.20][vc60][iut!lb14!ll14!lc20!lp14,3,3][J42286882,Y]&pref=G
