Grim Reaper has maintained for years the many reasons why there are countless bashers who go on ad infinitum bashing a penny stock - especially one like Silverado Gold Mines which is trading between one & two cents.

If Silverado had absolutely nothing then why would:

1) Tom Bundzten have spent so much time & effort writing his 165 detailed report & risk his good, international reputation?

2) Westridge Management International invest so much time & energy?

3) Dominick & Dominick waste their valuable time & reputation?

4) Faithful, long shareholders not have bailed long ago?

5) Proven pictures of rich Gold/Antimony vein pictures exist from the Nolan?

6) Excited shareholders having seen the Nolan Mine in person be so excited?

7) Silverado Staff not have vacated their premises in Vancouver long ago & found work elsewhere?

8) Garry Anselmo continue to work tirelessly to bring his properties into production?

9) Any of us with a reasonable level of intelligence continue to believe in the explosive potential of this stock?

10) Authorities recognize this has been a complete scam & throw everyone in jail?

One could go on & on! One can understand spurned former shareholders having lost money want to vent their anger - but that is the nature of the game of investing - some lose & some win - it will never change & one has to be responsible for taking risks! Shorting is a viscious game & part of the picture. Day trading is another. Personally, I feel there are paid bashers - either by large investment firms or possible major gold companies - who have their own obvious hidden agendas! Of course these insinuations are very difficult to prove! Why else would they waste so much time, energy & money trashing astock like Silverado Gold Mines if there wasn't something in it for themselves!!! Food for thought?
