Hello Intrigue, I am a big real estate AND a big silver fan (I have been stocking up on silver since 2008). My plan is to buy as much silver as possible till end of  2010 and sell end of 2011 to 2013 AND then buy alot of real estate. Why not do both, I had a friend attend Steve Mcknight's market update last night in Sydney, Steve said to start p…[Read more]

Hello Grant,
