Message:: [QUOTE="mikem2000, post: 2164251, member: 30574"]I honestly don't know what you are trying to say. The overpriced crapola, and I think you are referring to assets, are not the goal. They are only the means to an end. They are what we convert into things we need and want, such as food, shelter, or a Caribbean vacation. When we talk about investing,  holding the asset itself does nothing for us, it is simply how much stuff we can eventually convert those assets to, whether it be for ourselves  or future generations.  So I am really not seeing how these vehicles to a future end state are crapola. In addition, they are certainly not created equal. It is my belief it is a good thing to be discussing the pros and cons so folks can make better decisions to get more stuff in the end. Now as far as being short on Silver. The first thing is I no longer have that position. I basically have no position in metals. Even if I did though, there is no way posting on CT would effect that position in the slightest, so why not. As far as how it worked out, well, fantastic.... I could have held longer and made more, but it is all in the old posts when I first opened the position, and then later on when I closed it.[/QUOTE]
