Yes one must keep the big picture in focus. It is a most frustrating time for all investors in gold shares.. The fundamentals cry out to invest in gold or silver related stocks and each time things look like taking off, the gold and silver price get smashed. On Feb 29 silver was smashed down from $37.5 oz to $33.75 in just one hour. or exactly 10%. This obviously rattles holders of gold and silver shares but especially newcomers who get in at the top of a move.

In December there was another smash in Gold $1770 to $ 1525oz.

And yet writers of editorials are very bullish on gold. See the Hot reports on gold-eagle

A typical report is this one.

For a company like ATV it is paramount that the climate is favourable for gold investors. How many times have we seen in the recent past that good drilling results by some companies have been met with a yawn in the market place. Many explorers like ATV are selling for net cash and the gold in the ground is for free.

How long can this situation last? Well according to some writers it is going to end with a huge jump in gold and silver. Some say very soon.

Obama wants to get elected. To achieve this he not only needs a rising DOW but also put a boost into housing and employment just to mention a few. It takes about 6 months for fiscal stimulus to feed into the economy so I should imagine QE3 is just round the corner. Lets see!! That could be the trigger to set a boost under the price of Gold and silver.

The FED, GS and JPM are very powerful, maybe they could become our friends for a change!!

We can only hope that ATV get their act together and can produce some good drill results on Miner Lake, Oxford Lake and expand Destiny.

I'm hanging in there!

All the best
