I find it interesting....the volume on the alternative trading platforms is many times that of the Venture Exchange.<br /> Also interesting that this 35 - 36 - 37 cent Cdn area is holding firm, and it has done so for a number of weeks now.<br /> Met with some investing groupers today and those who hold this one remain positive. They are watching it, but not overly concerned with price volatility. Our tech guy has a larger than normal (for him) position, but with everyone else holding it is what they would call an average sized holding, which of course varies by investor.<br /> Our Canadian ex-pats referred us to a great interview with Rob Kirby today with a Canadian fellow named Jean-Claude -- Beyond Mystic. He cited a couple of excellent essays on gold price manipulation. Funny, Goldilocks had heard of this fellow Jean-Claude because he does interviews with people that discuss spirituality. We both enjoyed the Kirby interview, who posits that gold and silver are heavily undervalued and are an excellent insurance policy against runaway inflation. <br /> The group also discussed potential short plays on some of the ridiculously over-priced US listed companies. Crazy valuations and PE ratios that are well beyond reason. Nobody is ready to overly-commit to taking an index levered short. <br /> The consensus is that we live in unprecedently crazy times. We're all happy to be where we are in Florida. The economy is struggling back and we had a very busy spring break period. <br /> Be well all. Peace and good health. <br /> <br />
