<<What's even more amazing is silver is smoking even with the dollar rallying! Gold now over 1400 also....>> I really got beat up in 08, so I had little cash, but I felt this move was coming and took a lot of highly leveraged positions e.g. way out of the money silver stock and PD stock options like HL and PAL for PD. It was do or die. I did not want ot make a little, so I swung for the fence. But I did not expect an explosion of this magnitude. I had a bunch of CDE Dec 18 $25's and chickened out and sold them for HL options, but CDE is just about to cross $25. So I only paid .10 for my PAL Dec 18 $5 calls and about .20/.30? for my Jan 22 $6.50 HL options. HL $8.50 right now. Boy this is huge for me as all my stuff is in the money now and so the wts and options will really scream if this continues. And then I can live out my years in the tropics-lol. My skin has not seen the sun in about 35 years. Every dog has his day I guess-lol.
