Good morning Pic....seems we have some "leakage" here this morning...sewage overflow from other BBs and nasty inbox missives to goldbugs and SFMI bugs. Could it be that there are some very, very disgruntled shorts and paid bashers who are furious about the state of affairs with the truth getting priority and gold and silver and their offspring reaching for new highs today? Can you feel their palpable angst and anger,,,their disbelief that they have been discovered for what they are?... taking drive by pot shots here before melting into the dark?

By the way Pic, I was remiss in not thanking you as well for all your posts updating us on the meeting and all the posts and time you too have contributed here with your obvious scholarly intellect and insight. So, much thanks.

All those who come here can rest assured that there is a group of honest, sincere posters here whose number one priority is to seek the truth about SFMI, the PMs the JPMs, both from a micro and macro perspective. We have a savvy group of posters and shareholders from a wide spectrum of society with probably hundreds of years of experience in all things market and PM market related. We have been in the trenches in these markets over many years and we have the scars to prove it. This kaleidoscope catch-all of knowledge, wisdom and wide ranging experience is beneficial to the group in general and helps us all as individuals to better qualify our investmet decisions.

We have all settled here knowing that we can report our perspectives on SFMI and all factors pertaining to it...substantiated by facts, experience and knowledge...and take the time and effort to exchange our views with objectivity and purpose. When one of us is misinformed, others will politely and respectfully challenge that point of view. We have found sanctuary in this forum from the unfounded attacks, smear tactics, lies and slander that exists at most other public BB sites...who's questionable motivations are less than principled when it comes to free trading markets.

We have all taken a decision to support those investments that we hold and to tell it like it is to the best of our abilities. We do not paper over any difficult questions that need to be answered. We do not ... in this case SFMI ... shy away from challenging each other with our questions/doubts on a particular subject. We collectively communicate with the management and investor relations of SFMI and ask them difficult questions when necessary. We believe that we have benefitted from our collectve input and we have witnessed that.

We have some very exciting times dead ahead. It is about time for all of us to begin to reap and enjoy the rewards of our many hard years of patience and toiling in the PM/JPM markets. Newcomers to this site and to the JPM markets have an incredible opportunity to take advantage of all that has been collectively posted here and at that one other forum. Nothing happens overnight but the times are changing rapidly and lives are going to be changed forever with the profits that will be made in the JPMs. The window of time is now accelerating rapidly.

I have learned much from those posting here and on one other particular Agoracom forum. I have made many impetuous mistakes and learned from them. I hope myself and others can now take advantage of all that. Hard work and dligence is required but it is much easier when one is armed with knowledge.
