dont think it has anything to do with the cartels !! it definitely has to do with the performance of the GDX of which SLW is 5.4% of... the GDX is down on the day and it has dragged down SLW with it... the GDX is down because of ABX which is over 12% of the fund and GG which is also 12% or so of the fund... What i am saying is that if ABX and GG dont move up niether does the GDX and that negative volume from these two miners adversely impacts SLW ... take a look at the charts yourself GDX vs SLW....
