No real feeling on silver, and I would doubt the rumor, and think it to be a ploy to stimulate interest. Lot's of people now hurting because they followed that WB play..didn't they know it was over long before it leaked and that he got it cheap any way it's not some huge portion of his holdings. If people want to hold onto WBs shirt tail they need to buy the stock, or a mutual fund that owns the stock. Playing off news releases of what WB did is like dumber than dumb and he would be the first to tell you that. By the time his moves become knowledge the train has left the station, he's no fool. Silver is an insurance play, while you may speculate in it you would need to trade a lot of volume to make anything. It's a dead horse , that may come back to a brief life once every ten years or so, then die again. I wouldn't waste my time. Copper is more active, and has better percentage moves, still it's not what I call fun to play. But at least if you buy some of the big copper miners you get a dividend while you wait, and wait , and wait for the next real spike. Which and when it comes is likely to mean inflation is not far behind with all it's ugly side effects. Jim
