On the bright side.......A rising tide lifts all boats........even leaky, beat-up old barges such as USAS. It may take $75 silver and $3,000 gold, but this old dog will (gotta have patience) eek out a small gain for those of us hanging on to exit without taking a loss.
Glad my position in USAS is at the bottom of my portfolio, because the opportunity costs to hold this could've been much, much worse.
Good luck to all you patient, die-hards out there, it has been too long of a journey.
