I know what you mean x1power, I'm not into shorting or options either.
My investment philosophy has always been to own precious metals and producing miners, and the last three years has made that more important than ever, all the misdirection not withstanding.
US Foreign Policy is stupid and has the capacity to escalate out of control. I've been able to buy more physical and more Hecla on the last pull back and have absolutely no regrets.
A multi-metal producer like Hecla is a great stock to own at these prices. Anything under 4 bucks is a no brainer. We're already looking pretty smart owing Hecla now, but in a couple years we're gonna look like a bunch of Einsteins!
