Here's an encouraging remark from the old book on wealth creation called "think and Grow rich":

The author mentions the absolute requirement for people who want to succeed, whether in acquiring riches or being successful in any endeavour, is to have PERSISTENCE...

He writes:

Those who have cultivated the habit of persistence seem to enjoy insurance against failure. No matter how many times they are defeated, they finally arrive up toward the top of the ladder. Sometimes it appears that there is a hidden Guide whose duty is to test men through all sorts of discouraging experiences. Those who pick themselves up after defeat and keep on trying, arrive; and the world cries: "Bravo! I knew you could do it!"

The hidden Guide lets no one enjoy great achievement without passing the persistence test. Those who can't take it simply do not make the grade...

Don't give up, gold stocks will rebound and gold and silver will rocket to new highs in the next few months..

The author spent years studying and interviewing the richest and most successful men of the early 20th century, that is to say that even the richest of men had many sleepness nights at some point in their careers...

If we are still hanging in there after the bloodbath we have endured in the junior precious metal stocks, I would think we have just about passed that persistence test....
