Owning silver , gold, and related stocks versus holding cash and other non-related assets, is a process that is constantly evolving when one owns Silverado. The percentages change as stock prices go up & down, as is the case with Silverado. It sure would be nice to see Silverado in the BLACK, and showing a profit. That would definately shift those percentages over to the precious metals catagory !!!!!!!!!! Time to shed those terrible smelling "shorts". BBS
