Yes, I saw that pc about ABX trimming more hedgebook. Pardon me, but I need a WHOLE 16oz box of Morton Salt whenever I hear ABX is doing anything. Which side are they trimming? Their 9:1 written calls, or leaving those in place and closing the put, only to re-establish it a bit higher, say in the 332 range? Who knows? Not I. Re: the silver currency...the British Pound FORMERLY stood for .925 silver on deposit at the BoE. It was broken by a deliberate run on the BoE after WWI by the French, because the Brits B/P was the first hard currency guarantor on any default by Germany's reparation payments as result of WWI. Then the French moved on to the second guarantor. Any guesses who that second guarantor was????? The French first broke the bank and the BP went down the crapper. Soros was the second "entity" to take the "new and improved" --only fiat this time--BP tothe woodshed. Speaking of .925 silver, I love the way wrong speak gets passed around as gospel. Now it is being attributed to Bob Chapman...geeze! I'm referring to this piece of bullshit: From Alan Whirlwind recently and breathlessly quoting (some poor smuck trying to stir up Bill Murphy's troops) over on the Silver Prices thread: I pull this quote: http://www.mariatusin.com/stones.asp#sterling Sterling Silver is silver with a small amount of copper. Pure silver, like pure gold, is too soft to stay in its form, so it is combined with copper to form sterling silver. WHAT PURE BILGE. Do you see any problem with this fallacy perpetrated by a little gal trying to make a living at home named "Maria Tusin?" GEEEEZE! The additional metal adds strength and enhances silver's natural gloss.<------again, what pure bilge!!! Sterling silver is the combination of 92.5 percent pure silver and 7.5 percent copper, and is stamped "92.5" or "925". <------just about the only thing she got right. g_t
