After looking at the year end prices I realize two things. It is no wonder some long time board members at times express their disappointment, however I also realize how lucky I was to have the financial crisis come along when it did. I had never heard of Sangold or Rice lake for that matter and the events that led up to the meltdown opened my eyes to the Macro picture and eventually to gold. I probably shouldn't get too confident yet, however my current opinion is for a very prosperous 2010 for all of us old couts with the tin foil hats that have hunkered down in bomb shelters with a two year supply of pork and beans....lol
