Rook i agree with you that SAN is a great asset and that's why I own it (large position by my stanads) but that does not mean that the ups & downs of the markets will leave us immune to the fluctuations & am expecting still the worse to come to the gold market & the economy as a whole & possibly SAN. The problem that I see is that most only believe what is written & do not use their common sense ( do not use any due dilegence) lack of understanding as to what is going on with the US economy & the rest of the economic hardships globally. I can't understand how the problems of Greece/Spain etc justify that the the US economy is still in a massive deficit & that the problems are not going to be resolved in any short period of time. It seems that the problems of Europe are being used as blinders to mask the problems of the US dollar.
