Good morning Durban,

I think that both SGM and SPM are excellent vehicles for taking advantage of what I see as explosive increases in both gold and silver prices in the relatively near future. Even better is the fact that the sps of both stocks are unrealistically low and should rise as market sentiment eventually gets out of the old toilet bowl. I also don't play the SPDR Gold shares. I believe that we will get better results as gold prices increase by picking good individual gold and silver companies instead. My current list of metal stocks: SPM, SGN, OK, Pdg, CZN, PDN, JNX, ATN UEC, and U. I guess this makes me a gold, silver, uranium and zinc bug. I also believe strongly in the Canadian oil companies esecially SU and HSE. My significant other holds agricultural stocks including AGU and POT. So I guess we are well covered in hard type asset stocks. Now if we could only get the bloody stock prices to go far North of where they currently languish.

Have a great and profitable day.
