I know you are looking for some real advise, however you must know I always have an opinion. I believe the merger has to be good for LSG as the blue sky it has acquired will keep most investors on board, however until they can step out that monster intersection two NR's ago they will probably not move too much. I haven't re-read the last NR, but if I remember correctly 12 grams per ton was the headliner and that is one of SGR's also rans, I think they also had to abandon one of their most important targetted holes and drilling is expensive. I personally would want to get some real info before looking in their direction.( I think it is a safe bet long term) IMHO I think that you have to get some leverage by choosing some penny stocks in the hot area and Blackmount, Dundee, National Bank have all been sniffing around the greens lately. That tells me SGR is probably going to be uncaged and will pull all the others along. Almost everything I have learned has been gleened from this forum so must be taken with a huge grain of salt.
