OK, let me throw my $.02 in. We here all know we are fundamentally correct in our anaylsis of the situation. I think that's why some of the regulars are not posting as much. What's left to say? Unfortunately we all are also witnessing the greatest theft in world history that is running counter to any anaylsis. As Gold 88888 wrote, the day that gold and silver are set free is a day we will regret. This has gone way beyond buying and selling something in "the market", apologies to those who really think this market is actually a market at all.. I've said this before and gotten spanked with my ratings, but being in this market is a revolutionary act. Every ounce we keep from the bankers and politicians, every share of this and so many other PM equities we refuse to give up is IMHO quickening the demise of those powers. I think this may be the only place that the revolution against the bankers and politicians actually has an effect. I have come to realize that this may take a long time, but I will sit tight. I personally have so much of my net worth in this theory that it becomes painful at times, and I would suppose that I am not the only one. But I will not surrender these shares in this good company and others, nor my holdings in G&S bullion to these sociopathic thiefs!
