WNMLA, well they obviously have done well for their shareholders who have kept their stock recently, given the current stock price. however, look at the long-term stock chart. if you had languished with this stock since the 1980's you wouldn't be so happy. and i still think it is the responsibility of management to actually care about their shareholders and not let a stock price languish so long also, they haven't done well for the shareholders in a couple of their funds --- tux and gif. Their Midas gold fund has done great, but gold has been way up (no brainer) and do you think that fund is worth a 2.39% expense ratio??? I'm sure you could find a better gold fund much cheaper. however, i suppose if you have your interest aligned with management, the quality of their character doesn't matter as much. this stock does have its attractive points --- i just don't see why you view the owners so positively MC
