Would only make me nervous if I had an order outstanding.

Otherwise, if the mints or even just one of them, really are in trouble it just adds to the value of our ounces in the ground.

It's obvious that more "paper gold and silver" has been sold than exists in actuality. Eventually, "When the tide goes out," as Warren Buffett says, "we'll see who's been swimming naked."

I'm sure it won't be pretty either.
