That make work out well for you, but what about the others?

Is it all about you?

This is not the point. You are not the sole source of other's livelihood.

As far as gold or silver accumulation, I cannot, by conscience, trade or own those metals.

The mining of them is too destructive to the environment, and I am an environmentalist.

I own no car and bike for my transportation, using mass transportation on long trips.

"You were apparently too stupid or lazy to take advantage of the obvious."

I like to think of it as having integrity enough to walk my talk and less to stupidity or laziness.

I accumulated oil for quite a long time when it was cheap, cheap, cheap. I even announced here what I was doing (actually it was on the Bill Clinton thread). So the prices mean nothing to me. I did the same regarding gold and silver, accumulating when people were talking crap about these metals

i remember you writing about that, johannes..

excellent call

are you still holding or have you been selling (or buying) into this recent pullback?
