As long as I am in a posting mood, here is one more.
First, for you USSIF junkies, WIKIPEDIA has a pretty complete article on our Company. You might enjoy reading it.
Second, AND THIS IS JUST MY IDEA ALONE. It does not rise even to the level of a "rumor" because a "rumor" implies that I heard it from someone. And I have heard this from no one--just from inside my own head. But it is fun to think about and I thought I would share it.
The silver mining district in Idaho is home to many old mines. Perhaps the most historic of them is the Sunshine Mine. Opened and closed several times, it has been one of the most productive mines in Idaho history.
It is currently not in operation. Wouldn't it be a kick of USSIF put in a bid for the operation? USSIF itself was formed out of a speculative bid by buyers who bought it from CDE. Maybe USSIF could acquire Sunshine??
Just my thoughts--I have NO NEWS. But look up in Wikipedia both US Silver and Sunshine Mines for some interesting reading.
