"For those that do hold physical gold and silver, it pays no dividends and the buy/sell spreads are horrendous." You just don't get it, do you? Some of us have held AU for many years. I made a purchase when AU was selling for $313/oz. I paid slightly more than $315 including delivery and Fed Ex fees. Had I taken the same $313 and put it in a bank for "dividends" at an average annualized rate of about 3% I would barely of had enough dividends to buy a "Happy Meal". Instead, my ROI for 5 years is over 100% and I didn't have to do squat chit other than store it. I also noticed you've been trashing penny stocks in your diatribes. Apparently you got burned once or twice or didn't have the gonads to hold through thick and thin. Certainly there are losses to be had on pennies, just like there is on every other stock. Maybe the game is just too fast for you, or maybe you don't want to expend the time and effort to find 'em at the bottom. You also have to remember that not everyone needs to be a Warren Buffet. I can cover my entire fixed living expenses for an entire year by making one good trade and I enjoy trading for both fun and profit. You can post all the charts you want and play around with them until the cows come home. If that's your style, fine, but it certainly doesn't appeal to me. Hence, you shouldn't lump everyone else into a big ball by telling them that what you and Slider do is the only way to trade. If you are so damn good at it post your trades in real time. Show us the money!
