Ok, I would agree with that. I simply didn't know by what you meant. Some people might say the same thing, but mean if gold goes below $1000 all mines will close immediately. In just my opinion, I believe gold at $1100-1200, and silver at around $18-20 is about average for historical pricing. Since their demand is driven so much by emotion, that doesn't mean much more than a price I become very comfortable buying at.
