Don’t think u can ever say hope trounced, as if ur invested for the ultimate protection, then with this lot running wild, u have to have cover/protection.
Where the frustration comes in, is why hasn’t Gold hit $ 10 K inside a month and why isn’t silver over $ 1000 and still going north like a Saturn rocket…while yr loaded to the gills with speccy Silver stox plus even more deep out of the money calls …..ain’t that what u call serious investing ????
