Kirk, I can't blame you at all. Since I can afford not to care at this point, and see the comming of inflation in the next couple of yrs, I'll take my chances of seeing 2000+ gold and if so maybe 65-70 silver. Without my crystal ball in good working order like anything else it's a gamble. I wouldn't be surprised to see a correction in the stock market 10-20% in the next 1/4 or so, so I'll be a buyer of equities then rather than now. Just a thought, as I said my crystal ball isn't giving me any answer.
