Thanks Chinton. Those who decided to fade our call and take the hit of this important correction in the PM stocks either went into hiding on the <church of gold threads> to rock back and forth in their chairs and chant their mantras, OR.... They show up here - now and then - to bash or snipe at us because they find it easier to indulge their jealousy and resentment of successful players instead of dealing with their own shortcomings so as to become successful themselves! Both types of behavior are characteristic symptoms of the plague of weak egos who are too emotionally insecure to admit their mistakes, quickly cut their loss, AND THEN wait to reload at a lower entry level. The disease is called: DENIAL !!!!!!! When will they ever learn that the FIRST step to becoming a successful trader or investor is learning accept that making mistakes are PART OF THIS GAME. And a VERY valuable part IF you chose to honestly face & learn from (instead of hiding from) those mistakes. Over the many years I've been in this biz and observing other players? DENIAL may be the most expensive of all trader weaknesses. Glad to see you and some other folks who read this thread preserved your profits and capital. Best regards, Isopatch
