Thanks Russ, I did a copy & paste of the url to exploration methods onto my thread of company in that phase with the hope that the president of this company will identify if its valid activity for him to comment on. A question of the general kind, and for sure an 180 degrees from those of the Bob Johnson type. If by chance Bob Johnson does reply to my question here then you should add Bob to the list of the one forbidden on this thread to speak-up here :o) Once again not sure, but i believe Claude has stated that silver has more up side potential than gold. If so then its the price of the metal percentage wise since a $5 can double to $10 with a 5 dollar increase versus a $275 needed for gold to double. That's easy to understand, but now i ask what about companies share price increases based on for example both silver and gold does that hopped for explosion in price, like silver from 5 to 10 and gold from 275 to 325 and for example take two stable and well knowned companies for each having all good factors like low debt quality reserves and good extraction methods and and all the rest like location etc are good. ok, imagine these two companies of which you will be welcomed by many to give your opinion of one of each with i think a PAAS or something like those letters, and a BAY something is the silver company Claude likes, with a gold company being i'm clueless since all these names and letters don't register with me since i no trade them. But my opinion is that eventhought silver price may double while the gold price may only see a 20% increase leading to holding these in physical result in same returns, i feel that the share prices of gold companies will increase percentage wise much more than those silver companies share prices. If so, then shares of gold companies are good, while physical of silver is good. If so then the ratio of hold silver to gold may need two tables as in physical ratio and companies shares ratio. Just seems like buying physical gold using the Claude mentioned method where its used as money and you do not need delivery of it could be both a good safe haven from fiat and/or a way to store your wealth in real physical gold without purpose of using it as money but an investment w/ under chaos times its easy access as money. Golly its getting complex and maybe its best to walk into a deep woods and live off wild berries and plants and animals ;o) d:oug
