Silver is down hard, but SVM is happily green, it looks like somebody is liking it.

Confused about one financial line.
I got out a few weeks ago but I was going over their financials from yesterday and found this one line quite confusing.
"Continued to maintain low cost producer status with a cash production cost per ounce of silver of negative $4.56;"
How can you have a negative cost?? Is this a typo or are they getting paid to remove silver cause it is in the way.. or what?
Does it mean that it cost $4.56 per ounce? This seems more logical. A negative cost is not a cost it is a benefit.

"Continued to maintain low cost producer status with a cash production cost per ounce of silver of negative $4.56;"
Is this a cost of $4.56 per ounce or are they getting a subsidy? A negative cost is not a cost it is a benefit.
or is it just like a negative percentage, which does not actually exist cause a percentage is always > 0. A stock is either up or down percentage it is never a negative percentage... just rambling
This is how they're looking at it. The lead and zinc they mine and sell pays for all the costs and then some, for the silver they get out.

Thats my post from last week in Stock market today forum.
"Just to add few more facts about gold. After its down on heavy volume today, GLD is sitting at 200 SMA which coincide with 50% fib retracement from 5.30.2012 low (148,53) to 10.4.2012 high (174,07). If it breaks i expect it to fall down to 38,2% fib retracement which is also next major POC and support level (158,40)."
GLD fell on Thursday to 158,39 intraday low and im expecting it to bounce from there.
As SLV and GLD are highly correlated (0,94 year to date) and SLV did same on Thursday (intraday low exactly on 38.2% fib retracement), looks like silver could bounce also.
After looking for some miners, SVM looks really nice for some longs at these levels. Its sitting at monthly and weekly support at 5.00$ and it fell hard in last 5 trading sessions on heavy volume (last week average was 2,36 million and year average is 1,405 million share which is almost 70% increase in volume). If somebody likes to pick stocks at support lines i think SVM is great opportunity.
Stop loss would be few ticks under 4,89 which is intraday low from 5.16.2012.
SVM trying to rebound off recent lows gets hit with a class action lawsuit dropping the stock 8% or .33 to 3.74.
Quote from article in Seeking Alpha>>>>>>"
In summary, SVM management issued a $160 million operating cash flow forecast for fiscal 2013, an increase of 42% from fiscal 2012, despite:
I conclude that SVM management's $160 million fiscal 2013 operating cash flow forecast was therefore intentionally false and misleading.
