Q: ARIS has taken a beating lately and hasn't paid a dividend in about 8 months. I'm hesitant to take the loss as I'm bullish on gold and have it in a registered account.

You commented today that "Very good growth is expected over the next 24 months" Can you expand on this? Will they bring back their dividend? Are there better beaten up stocks in the sector that pay a dividend?
