Amen to this sentiment Sir. As I said previously- Silver senses are tingling as we head into my favorite Silver months... It is interesting that a number of key analysts are now discovering Silver and Gold, flip-floppers are suddenly flipping our way... HOWEVER, I think the key aspect of this board is that there has always been a consistent vision and one which has been profitable for many members - we gather together and discuss what this guy thinks and what that guy thinks... what this incident means or what that invention may mean for silver, but the 'silver thread' connecting it all is a consistent unwavering belief that we are right.

Frustrating as this market can be, we have unified understanding that our society and the economic lynchpins which hold it together are fundamentally flawed. The borrow, borrow, spend philosophy that has predominantly dictated the past 4 decades will end and will end suddenly. We are generally a group of 'alarmists' who take great comfort in holding onto something of universally understood value, proven by centuries and not decades. The long term-ists, not fad followers. True, others may have made more money in shorting us (or others) over the last decade in particular, but reality and fact will eventually win the day. The cool thing about reading this board is that we're not debating the facts behind silver, but rather reading the changes in the markets (and our global politics) so we can decipher the 'when' our wholesale changes will be imminent. I for one feel that the established leadership over the past 4 decades is losing its grip, and losing it quickly. Conversations where I felt like a looney are fading and it's becoming more common to get deep into conversations with others who are shifting to metals. I got a photo sent to me the other day from a 'crazy' German guy I know burying 150 kilos of silver in his backyard.

I have little kids and I want them to live a life with hope and freedom of choice. Not the hollow freedom call of George Bush & crazy folks who actually wish to restrict your freedom by appealing to it; but a real freedom where they have the opportunity to live life without the fear which I believe will grip society very soon. That's why I cherish my physical Silver and Gold as a security blanket - and that's why ECU is my go-to choice for explosive, epic growth. Everyone has their preference, everyone has their beliefs... this is mine.

Good luck to all in the following weeks, lets hope the signs ring true soon.
