Remember...

Your dollars are just a type of money that you use to trade for things. Gold serves the same pupose. But anything can serve the same purpose...seashells, dog poop, or stock certificates. Please notice that Bear-Stearns stock certificates are now interchangeable with the category listed just previous to stock certificates. But what about mining share company stock certificates? Money is valuable to the extent that it is backed by something valuable. As these companies get more valuable, their stock certificates will become more valuable as MONEY. And believe it! They will use them to buy things, like new resources. I would. Wouldn't you? Bull
