Reading all of the comments here, I am struck by how unconcerned we have become to the games the gangsters and crooks are doing to the pm world. Margin hikes, news stories, media pundits all screaming to LOOK OUT BELOW, really isn't affecting us. Sure we have lost value in our portfolios, but take in these comments here. Geez, AG off 5% today and it's sort of ho hum. My point is we are not the only people on the planet who can see the absolute phony nature of these markets; what's more, that these banksters are just fighting a rear guard action, to avoid a rout and the attackers (US!) getting behind their lines. The smart money knows that PM's are setting up for a huge move. Our forum seems to me a great barometer of the market sentiment. Their actions are having less and less effect just because of people like us.

As far as the funds coming into the PM stock world, my opinion is that select players are stepping in now, and after some solid positions are accumulated, then they will start hyping things to the herd. I haven't done any investigating, but just looking at a few things I follow it seems that volumes have been increasing across the board, that's why many stocks are holding their own in this smackdown. I'm sure many of you would know this better than myself if true.

Everybody vote?
