No real investors of USSIF are underwater IMO! If you are in for a trade then maybe you are. But as investors we realize that the potential here should be extraorinary. Investors have no reason to sell. We just sit back and enjoy the bumpy ride. That is the difference between investing and trading. Investors do not sell underwater unless the fundamentals have changed. Only time will prove who is right! In any event, I have a feeling that even the traders here will make out like bandits here if they have a little patience. If someone sells at $5.00 that would be a huge return and I would say congratulations. Those kinds of profits do not come along that often. I can really see no better place to park my money than this little Silverapple! (As long as the fundamentals of Silver and the company do not somehow change.) Mining stocks at best are very risky to say the least. However, I feel that these are unusual times as in a "once in a lifetime opportunity!"
