I understand where you're comming from D. I tend to interpret the positive movements we see as the demand just growing by leaps and bounds. Demand may diminish the ever present efforts by the new jerk filth.

I think I am leaning toward the cynical side right now. Its just so easy to do. The COTS, the massive Advertised" inventories of the ETFs, the pm shares in the toilet when they should be THE stocks to perform. I could go on ( as I seem to do almost daily) but I know that it will only end when "they" are forced to retreat. That won't happen because of honest markets, honest politicians, honest media, or any other measure of honesty. It will happen becaused people finally wake up. The run for real money and no form of paper.

It is scary to think that stock in productive mines may not be worh anything because they are denominated in a shrinking measure... fiat. At that time I often wonder what it would take to survive. I'm not one to invest in scotch.

In the 70's Doug Casey and Howard Ruff were the pm gurus of the day. They recommended 1/2 bag of silver and a few ounces of gold per family member. I wonder how that could be enough?

And there is our wonderful little gem sitting at $.52 or less. With all that silver and other minerals in the ground that they will work over the comming years. I just shake my head.

Peace my friend.
