i don't know what to say - this next run on precious metals, i'm out of the market completely, I THINK - just like the mariner, the older i get the more survivalist tendencies exhibit themselves - gold is 100% intrinsic in value - it's kind of a "last resort" idea - right now, gold is squeezed between the falling dow/dollar and hedge fund liquidation - it may go lower, but should take a little while, IMO - will be aquiring physical on the next cycle down for my retirement -
