Steven, you are certainly very nice to try and save us, but some of us have a different viewpoint than you. I could do the same thing and try and save all the people that hold government bonds made out of cheap paper. I don't hold any bonds and here I am on a Saturday afternoon trying to save millions of people that believe their government will back their fiat money with something. In the not too distant future that something will be in the bottom of your toilet bowl.

There is no balloon in gold, the balloon is in the printing presses (actually money is no longer printed) and when you have a backwardian situation, when the paper bubble bursts, even a tiny gold company offers safe haven. Sli has a moderate amount of gold just on the surface- Lori payed for exploration costs for some years just trucking ore down the hill.
