"The only thing I can't verify as I don't know where to look is the Cormark buys that are posted by a member right after the SP fall. How do we know that Sprott bought those shares."

We don't know. Sprott Secuities and Cormark are two different animals and Embry used to work for RBC so verifying the trades would be next to impossible. But a good salesman always talks their book whenever and wherever possible and throwing San under the bus is like saying something about someone's mother. It's trash talk and you don't do it unless your positioned to fight or make money.

You're no rookie.
