Nicely done Spiny. Thank you.

If I may though, we still have that "umbrella" over all the JPMs (with very few exceptions) and we are at this time bereft of any forward looking mentality/speculation fervor in most of the same stocks. When this changes, and it will, these factors will act as an additional catapult for near term producers of PMs. Then, apply all the positive momentum in the stimulants you outlined and we have no idea of how fast and how high a JPM like SFMI (and there are few) can rise.

I know folks, I sound like a broken record...but those are the undeniable facts. When these markets become "free trading" the reversal sould be quite spectacular. I have to admit though, that the market "designers" have had their way with us gold buffs for years and have discouraged even the longest standing of the gold bulls. This will benefit them to no end as they are "rumored" to have been slowly accumulating the shares whilst shorting them all along. When they change their routine is anyone's best guess, but they are definitely closer today than yesterday and the pressure on them must be becoming close to unbeareable due to the shear momentum of the supply/demand/inventory fundamantals and the huge leverage/fractional reserve black holes.

I will not go quietly into the night in the quest for the golden grail.
