Something to think about...... In 08 there was a problem with liquidity and all big investors pulled out of all markets"banks and the rest of the herd" no matter how well any company or asset, including Gold and silver were performing. A year ago we were told miners were cheap and they were, today they are down right cheap. Know most that were saying the mining stocks were a better investment to be in. Are now saying that one should be holding the metals and not in the banking system. We all know there is value in these companies that are getting hammered, but if liquidity is being taken out of a sector, one should hope it returns before another crash!
