Silas I'm new the PM sector of Investing. A good friend of mind thought It would add diversity to my Investment portfollio. I bought physical silver, and then Invested In 3 mining companies. My friend Is heavily Invested In physical silver, and has many mining stocks. He recommended CDE as one of three companies that I should Invest In. His basic premise was that CDE has so many OZ's of Pm that It can't help but be suceesful! Nothing has changed from that standpoint. In Investigating this stock the only drawback was upper management. I dont know If that Information is completely accurate, but that Is what I heard from a number of sources. The company In the last month has gone to great lengths to change upper management In South america, and Bolivia. Right now In today's market PM stocks are a tough sell. Have you tried to talk to a friend or family member about Investing In PM'S? If you have it probably didnt go over very well! It's a tough market. I can't believe the price Is this low either. I wish was In charge Of the federal reserve bank so I could go print more money to buy stock In CDE.
