"If you are buying here, juniors with defined deposits that will not go to zero, and the share price has dropped 90%, you have to believe you are getting the bargain of a lifetime. I do."

I think you are spot on , it's not the time to buy companies that are basically a guy with a laptop. you have to filter carefully I have being buying Tyhee, Kimber, Minefinders and some San gold. I have to say putting money into near term producers now is safer then most banks at the moment.

Care to share which near term producers you are looking at? ideally commanies that will be producing in the next 6/12 months?

As a side note I am in the Euro area and my account is up on e fact that I am getting out of Euros.
