Macedon was always considered "greek", they were what the classical greeks considered "barbaric cousins", or "country greeks" as it were. They...
Its on every prospectus to try to warn investors of risk. If the SEC had the authority, I am sure they would have it printed on prospectus' for...
Maybe the US smelters are just lazy then, or maybe they pay a premium for US junk that the Japanese dealers don't. I just don't know. I do know...
But those are the cold hard facts of selling PM. It gets worst if the market is dropping and dealers believe it will continue. This is the...
