Hey Popeye, as you know hindsight is always 20/20, but it looks like I should have sticked with the SLV instead of going to PAAS last fall. Silver keeps going up week after week, but PAAS has gone nowhere. In fact, with silver going up .44 today PAAS actually dropped, LOL. But if I had an explanation, I would say that it's probably because the stock market in general has still been doing very poorly (Dow dropped another 300 today) and that affects the mining stocks as well.
