How Low Can Mining Stocks Go?

One thought for low share prices: What if the major shareholders want TITLE? Beats paying off the little guys, and the same major holders control the money center banks, so the mines can't get loans either. Just a thought.

How the U.S. Financial Crisis Resembles Japan’s 'Lost Decade' - And How to Play It, Part II

The commentary and the comments are very well thought out and interesting. I'd just like to share some notes from the past:

If [further] Inflation Comes
by Roger W. Babson 1950 edition Copyrighted 1937

Quote [page 113]
If the country goes into radical inflation, with any shortage
of commodities, then commodities in storage for
speculation will be confiscated, the same as our gold was
confiscated in 1933.

Quote [page 114]
My inclinations are to follow the advice of a friend of mine,
who, on November 6, 1940, said as follows:
"Roger, the election yesterday has many meanings,
but one thing is certain; anyone who has a nickel
had better keep his mouth shut during the next four years!"

Quote [page 115]
NO INDUSTRY PROVIDES A SAFE INFLATION HEDGE.

Hope this is of some benefit.
