coach, just like to thank you and all the other informed posters from mexicomike. Started investing in canadian juniors with WTZ,what a fortunate start at $2 40. Now hold ECU,SNN,CBI,EXM & IPT still 15% underwater but I draw strength from what I think is a quality mix, if I made a mistake it was not getting any physical, however I do buy small lots of scrap UK pre 1920 silver coins,and I have a profitable sideline because perhaps 5% are of collectable grade. I do not worry too much about the day to day market, although I have 2 years of my day jobs pay invested, I estimate I need a 4 bagger to retire 10 years early,and I think this is achievable. In the meantime I run a 12 year old car: Oh well you have to make some sacrifices. Finally, best wishes to this new board, it will be nice not to have to weed out the wheat from the chaff like on stockhouse. Regards from York England.
