(Thanks for having us all up here tonight Maggie! I've lowered the Golden Anchor to stabilize the ship for the night's festivities, just in case I wind up having one too many sodas.)
H a p p y N e w Y e a r C r e w !
We've just about made it to the end of our first year together, and what do we have to show for all our toil and trouble?
Ummm... NOTHING.
That's right! Zippo. We're all right back where we started from twelve months ago!
So in all fairness, I propose a toast to Blythe, and all her crooked cronies! Let's show them that we are good sports, and can take it in the chin...
"TO THE WITCH!!"
They beat us fair and square with their double dealings and conniving ways.
Let's just hope Blythe et al reciprocate the good wishes next year when silver has doubled in price!
Now, to more pleasant matters...
THE INAUGURAL "POST OF THE YEAR" AWARD!
After carefully reading though the quarter million words of wisdom that have arrayed themselves across these pages over these past eight months, and after pulling out most of my beard with the stress of it all, I have finally selected three unique posts that stood out to me as timeless examples of the character of a true and noble Night Stacker...
Without further ado I reproduce these historic quotes from my logs for you edification.

To all those that are disturbed by the rise and have feelings of dropping out, don't be, look to ten years ahead. bumps,dips,drops, vertical up+down are all part of the ride. While silver does this she is fighting her way out of her bonds. She is going to run wild till she gets back to 15/1 and then she will rattle that too for by then she will be more precious than gold.
good weekend to all,
regards

Such timeless words, salted by the seasoned wisdom of a true stacker. Each one as relevant today as the day it dripped like liquid honey from the keyboard of our dearly departed... Hotel 46!
And so may I propose a further toast...
...TO HOTEL 46 - for three outstanding "Posts of the Year"!
