Personally, the big giveaway - and why I subscribed to the SPP - was the Chairman putting up $500,000 of his own money. And that's to say nothing of the fundamentals of the silver price, the fact the company is now a producer, and the loss of faith of fiat money.

The Chinese have also shifted their focus, in a megalithic way, to silver - having already taken an equally megalithic (and ongoing) plunge in the gold market.

I know we've predicted this for a long time, but all the evidence strongly points to a paradigmatic shift of unprecedented proportions.

A silver price north of $40 (and beyond that) will see investors jumping down from the trees.

So insofar as AYN is concerned, patience is, and always was, the missing key.
