Well, gold is catching up a bit. I thought I saw some decoupling from gold earlier this morning. Was probably just wishful thinking on my part.

I've bought some options on CDE, HL just because they're the more liquid silvers. I'm aiming for longer term options lately - probably a fairly leveraged trade, but my logic being that gold/silver going up denotes either inflation or currency problems, which could result eventually in effective interest rate increases. And since that would also improve option pricing, I would like to capture that. I guess effective interest rates could go lower here too, but risk/reward, I'd rather position the other way on the chance they do go up. I hold some smaller silvers too, just recently bought a little RVM.TO, although it's not a real trader. Here's an interesting site I ran across when I was looking for gold reserve comparisons, they also have silver, and you can adjust which stocks are pulled up on the tables. I checked a few and they seemed reasonably accurate. goldminerpulse.com
