Is This the Death of Gold & Silver Stocks? Part II

Marc, I do like your comment.
Is there a moral question as to where you should invest?
Is it all about making money?
We have the current moral example of the Kinross attempted take-over of Aurelian; the biggest gold find in the last twenty year: (see agoracom.com ARU) where the shareholder are likely to end up with $5 + worthless warrants instead of $20+ per share due to the greed of the ARU management who have sold their retail shareholders down the river.
Gold is about to take off, do I invest in this market or do I try and support miners producing a more worthwhile product.
Shorting, leverage, margin accounts; do you know who is using your shares for what purpose?; naked shorts etc. have brought us to the fine mess that we are in today.

I personally would not invest in this area, as risk outweighs any possible high return.
