TeleProbe,

Thanks for the reply, I hear what you are saying about disregarding "expert forecasters"(how often did I hear ads featuring Rick Rule's prediction of silver @$100/OZ within a year...a year ago).

Back in the late 90's I kept telling my friends to invest in gold (didn't have any extra cash myself at the time). They'd ask why I was so optimistic, and I would say "no special insight but it can't stay at $270 forever." None of them took my advice, incidentally.

So, yeah, no over-thinking about silver, just a feeling that it's going to go up from $15/OZ eventually...just the same as FNC can't stay at its pathetic 2cents .
