You could very well be correct Pat. I am getting back to zero gain that is for sure but there are a few smarter traders around whom I am sure have done well.

Well I think you are wrong mon ami. You have not seen a real bubble market in PM's yet. It may take more time than most analysts expected, but it will happen.

Very very interesting thoughts.

You're right when you say that insiders and others have a multi-lengh lead over the rest of the participants in this market.

Look and see right know how many millions 10/15 cents cheap options are generously distributed to board members. This gives them a serious lead over investors that have paid 50 cents or 1 dollar, 12-18 months ago, and still hold their shares.

Flow through PP's with tiny premiums over the market price also give them another lead over regular shareholders that have to pay the market price.

But sometimes, it's worth a try and some outsiders make money.
