By the way, i only buy physical, my dealer in Canada (Toronto) told me that over the last day, the price of silver has actually risen, if you're trying to buy physical in CAD. The premiums are up and the CAD is getting stronger.

So if you're not holding physical, you're merely holding a promise.....of a bank no less!

My account is down significantly (if you count it in paper exchange indexes), but the above news has me considerably happy that I can pick up more and know that our day is coming.

Those holding physical metal and gold/silver shares will be the winners in 2010 and beyond....

sure you can sell the S&P short, but my view is the S&P/dow et al, is legalized gambling with the control firmly in the hands of the algo traders.....enjoy a beautiful day in Toronto...the sun is shining and the flowers blooming.....take a walk till Tuesday and enjoy the fact that you have your health and family and 2 square meals on the table.....afterall...what else is there?
