One other thing Mr Aloha. If we get a big move in zinc right now which looks likely then a producer will move faster and higher than a "deposit". It has to do with two things. 1) a sure play (i.e. producing) vs a speculative play (not producing) and what one can do with that money (e.g. buy more deposits). 2) the present value of money vs the future value of money The above concept, which I am sure you know, is based on compound interest from money earned now versus money to be earned in the future. cheers,

I guess it's the difference between active trading and long-term investing. While you try to maximize profits with active trading, I look at fundamental value and focus on the long term. I don't have confidence that I can trade anything with better results than just holding my investments longer term, so I use a different style. I used to be a very active and successful trader, so that says a lot for my confidence in my investments. Good luck with your trading and your poker. :)
