I may be in error, but I&#039;ve reviewed the posts of this thread and they seem to support my memory that only 2 individuals committed themselves in the initial portion of this post, namely pale ridder and myself.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I personally commend pale ridder for at least taking the risk of being ridiculed by others for his prognostications, although he was relatively safe by taking both a long and short position on Silver. Regardless, unlike yourself he was the OP (Post #1) of this thread, and took a position!! Individuals ridiculed him, and he apologized for taking a position. You can&#039;t win a race unless you enter, watching doesn&#039;t qualify as part of the competition!!</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I placed post #2, proposing a favorable wager to all that pale ridders&#039; highest Silver price prediction would be unrealized in 2010.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">You happened to meander on through, asking questions, and stating in post #9: &quot;</font>I&#039;m thinking of taking you up on that.<font face="Arial Black">&quot;. I&#039;m certain others may have also been &quot;thinking&quot;, but that doesn&#039;t constitute an &quot;action&quot;.</font></p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I believe you may have selective memory, reading deficiency, comprehension deficiency, or all of the aforementioned</font><b><font face="Arial Black">, as I clearly stated</font></b><font face="Arial Black"> in post #10 the terms for an agreement between myself and any individual willing to accept my proposed wager. </font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I suggest that you find someone objective to assist you in comprehending the agreement terms which I clearly stated in post #10 of this thread, as follows: </font><b><font face="Arial Black">&quot;</font>Verbal written acceptance on this site will constitute a contractual agreement, witnessed by </b><b>those placing subsequent posts, and </b><b>all viewers. A PM would be submitted by both parties, subsequent to the public agreement, providing the legal respective name/address of the individual contracting parties, verified by private transmission of photo ID.<font face="Arial Black">&quot;</font></b></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">In post #12 pale ridder again committed himself, thus: &quot;</font>I do think silver is way under valued and yes at some point will go over $23 this year maybe?<font face="Arial Black">&quot;</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">You, unlike myself and pale ridder, played it safe, being non-commital, stating in post #13: &quot;</font>I just wouldn&#039;t want us to get in trouble in such a public place. But a gentlemen&#039;s bet isn&#039;t really gambling. Let&#039;s see what happens this year....<font face="Arial Black">&quot;. Observing an event doesn&#039;t constitute involvement, or any &quot;action&quot;. I&#039;m sorry, but where I come from you can&#039;t win the lottery, unless you purchase a ticket. The terms for a contractual agreement were as heretofore clearly stated, but unaccepted by you. Stating that you may have selected the winner, doesn&#039;t result in a payout.</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black">I may be in error, but I believe if there is any winner in the thread, with humility I bow to pale ridder, acknowledging his bravery in repeatedly humbly taking a correct position. PALE RIDDER, you are the MAN, thank you for your prediction. :bow:</font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Arial Black"></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
