"it always comes down to who do you believe"
True, Traps. As i think you're saying, as always, it's "caveat emptor".
And the same as you mentioned about the 10 analysts, I also like to take a concensus of a number of them.
As you indicated, the future on the demand side looks quite good.
I've been avoiding silver and silver stocks because they're even more volatile than gold, which is volatile enough, ain't it, eh? Ha, ha. But someone more 'nimble' than i am will probably be able to do well trading silver, i guess.
Good luck!
