hard to believe nowadays that GSR once traded at 20 bucks... i still haven't bought any...perhaps i should. i take it a higher PoG is needed for its properties.

Terry, fwiw, i think its best that an investor/speculator not just buy one of the kiddies, like drooy or gsr unless they also have some of the bigger hitters (i'd go for hgmcy/gold/franco/agnico/hm), there's nothing worse than seeing the sector work out and you holding the bag on a fringe player that doesn't work out. they'll (imo, ho ho, for sure) make $$$ on the ones i mentioned. the kiddies are somewhat doubtful.

>My softball teammate told me that gold plate was the best solar collector > surface material. I don't know his source, but it is logical. Define "best".. The most efficient collector for a solar array would be whatever surface has the highest reflectivity value. And I can assure you that a mirrored piece of glass has a higher reflection rate than gold. However, it is heavier and will oxidize. Gold is the "best" in circumstances where you need a malleable/thin and lightweight setup for reflective purposes. That's why all satellites and space probes have gold leaf surrounding their electronic component areas. It's pretty good, and it weighs a hell of a lot less than a sheet of silver-backed glass.
