Iwunder,

Keep your ears open to Jim Puplava's 2009 forecast on FNS's January 3rd broadcast. I'd imagine he'd be much more careful this time than last, since he was so wrong in this 2008 forecast. (Remember he said to not sell in May, 'cause things could be different this year?) Ironically, he was right. They were far worse.

Perhaps JP has already been tipping his hat about what he might say about the so-called Spring sell-off which may or may not include the PM shares when he pointed out that there may even now be starting a divergence between the PM shares, gold and the general market. (At least that's what I remember from yesterday's FSN broadcast). So, we just might be spared a plunge in our portfolios this time. (Fingers crossed)

But, if there is a general Spring sell-off and no good divergence, then this might negatively impact any hope we might have in seeing Tyhee's drill program recommence in March to a level anywhere near what would take place in normal times. So, maybe Tyhee could compensate for this possible disappointment by coming up with some solid evidence that their feasibility study is much closer to initiation/completion.
