I agree 100% although you need to take some of your own advice, I come on here talking about silver and am ambushed and flamed and for what? Because it has went up? Because the "rule" says no more than 10% PM in your portfolio? Times are changing, our world not just our country is in a crisis, rules are changing, where there was little demand for silver in the past now there is an overwelming demand. You have to understand that oil and gold/silver are not like other commodities, once they are gone thats it. You can grow more wheat,corn coffee etc., anyway I know i'm wasting my breath and I know there are those on here that want to see silver fail, but you can bet your sweet ass the US economy and the Dollar are the ones destined to fail. It is happening slowly right in front of all of us, kinda like when the titanic was sinking, but the band kept on playing........
