I agree with much of what you said, and in regards to Paul's quote, I thought it was quite fitting actually.
We're all upset that the price of USSIF has many investors in the red. Most shares were purchased from many of the longs in the $3.00-$3.40 range!
I strongly believe the price of silver will average at least $50.00 an ounce in 2013. In silver alone, that'll be $100M+++ in revenues for US-Silver. Once moving to AMEX, I assume we'll get a strong raise in the price of the stock...A higher stock price is what management will want, especially now that we know they are on the lookout for acquisitions.
I think you will be pleasantly surprised with how things play out over the year and beyond.
Enjoy your weekend
