Sphin: Having read many traders over the years and I even successfully traded short-term options on AGQ for a couple of years using my own strategies (try that strategy if you want heart-burn), I've come to believe that even the best strategies occasionally or eventually misfire in a big way. So I think Peter Degraaf is probably the best person I've ever read because he uses a very simple, but comprehensive combination of technical and fundamental measurements to assist traders/investors in selling stocks/metals in traunches during overbought conditions and buying stocks/metals in traunches during oversold conditions and that will always lead to a very successful result if a secular bull market is still in play - so I was a buyer this week! Stewart Thompson uses a very similar approach, but he is much more technical and aggressive than the wise old Degraaf who is almost 80 years young and has seen it all in his precious metal trading life! Good luck! Khaki
