I'm almost ashamed to admit this, but I have been a long time CDM/CDE holder. In the space of time I have o wned the shares, they, like Kinross, have only gone down in value. My other silver producers (particularly Silvercorp) have done quite well.

I expect some of the bad press is earned, and I also expect the company will have good leverage to the price of silver (ie instant profitability it the price of silver stays up), but I can only say there's been a string of disappointments with Coeur D'Alene.
