I will say to each and their own. However I thought I needed to share an opinion.
Why are people actually wanting to jump into another "brand new" venture which may or may not be the same thing/same people/similar situation/it's different this time/different leadership/etc etc ?
I learned a long time ago that when you go to bed with a dog you wake up with Fleas. Whether or not you are a dog, just being "associated" causes you to get fleas.
The fact that our wonderful forum has help support (whether knowingly or not) the various pathetic and ponzi business schemes makes me disappointed. Goes back to the Bolivia silver mess, SBSS/Mulligan and now off-shoots, etc. All to make or save a couple extra bucks or get an interesting design? While maybe most of us escaped without harm, our buying a few ounces here and there has literally helped these terrible companies STEAL money from others. Now there are families facing major losses.
While I'm not calling out anyone directly (and Again, to each and their own) --- I personally view anyone that buys (dealers, buy groups, etc) from a non-proven source to show a lack of business acumen.
We are silver investors. We are fiscally conservative and fiscally "smarter" than the average joe. ------- but are we?
