I like physical metal and have always owned some but before all is said and done the precious metal equities will blow away the move in physical from a percentage comparison. No one said it would be easy and I will never capitulate to the manipulators no matter how hard they make it and for sure they have made it very difficult the last couple years. The final chapters in precious metals equities is far from written or over and the same holds true for very cheap emerging producers with cash and big resources such as Golden Minerals.
I certainly can't fault anyone for doing what they think is best and from my perspective holding Golden is what I think is best. I just wish I could buy more here but I'm pretty well all in. BTW, besides those who have stated this week they have bought like BigPic and Moose, I also had a friend buy over 30k shares so far this week and he is not done yet as it's mega cheap.
