Thanks for taking the time to do a detailed reply...I've been doing resource investing seriously for about 5 years, starting with oil and uranium, later into PMs. I have much the same philosophy, but still need to better develop a discipline not to chase something when it's running and sell some of it instead. I recognize the "herd mentality" and need to fight it. All said, I've done well in those years, but not enough to live off of (yet).
