RE:Looking to pick up FR & others sooner than laterNot often that you hear somebody on these boards admitting they were wrong!
I agree that 2016 proved that the banksters can't keep their thumb on the scales forever. (More likely, they'll tip them the other way when they see a greater profit to be made in letting the metals have their run. Don't forget that JPM is the largest non-governmental holder of silver in the world.)
I'm topping up here as well, but what the heck - I'm still holding heaps of "free" shares after selling into the huge runup earlier in the year.
I would respectfully disagree with the "buy and hold opportunity", however. Buy and hold is dead. You have to take some profits in this market. The good thing is that increasing volatility will make that relatively painless, at least for those hardly souls who can handle the violent ups and downs.
