Gracias, Perro de Suerte.  Any idea how recent these numbers are?  I presume they're from SEC filings, as the Puplava number is exactly the same.  Jim's been cutting back over the last few quarters BTW.  Not huge amounts relatively speaking, but I'd be happy to own what he's sold..lol.  KB's sold a few as well, probably for tax and safety purposes.  "If you're up big, take some off."  I'll never forget Cramer telling us that near the beginning, when Street.com first started up.  Good advice, but somehow I just can't seem to do it with Aurelian.  They can shake the tree as hard as they like, this little bear cub ain't coming down!
