I expect it to contribute to my retirement as well and it will in a big way as far as I am concerned. These kind of developmnents can take years even when there is no world financial meltdown or cartel working the gold/silver prices or funds shorting the crap out of gold/silver stocks. This is a very big and nasty game and can be deleterious to one's financial health but the fundamentals will win out, they always do, but not everyone makes big profits because they become their own worst enemy and get thrown by the bull.

No one of this board has more reason than me to be upset given the number of shares I hold and I am not looking a gift horse in the face.
