Hi dcbass,

My guess is we are all watching through our fingers and just waiting for the inevitable.

I'm sure most posters here have placed their bets some time ago and are fairly 'all in', we've had loads of buying opportunities over the past few years with ECU in particular... although today is just insane. How can a company with 85 million in cash and 2 billion potential ounces of silver be worth less then 200 million? I mean... wow.

We all know where this is going, but it's pretty painful to watch.

As for the previous post on Obama, he may be a one term wonder, that is true... but sorry the man was handed a sh@t sandwich from the get-go, wouldn't matter who was in charge, this economic situation was a given. I'm more upset with him for the veto on Palestine nationhood. No peace will ever come through negotiation with Not-a-yahoo. How long will they allow the Isrealis to build illegally and keep the people in a Gaza prison? Probably forever if they could... just as they turn a blind eye to investment bank theft and manipulation.

The last decade has been a roadrunner moment where the coyote has run off the cliff and hangs momentarily in the air in defiance of gravity only to finally face the camera, wave goodbye and then plummet to the earth. The economy is just waiving goodbye at this moment... the puff of smoke is coming.
