Nice to see some sanity on these boards for a change. At least we can all agree that blatant manipulation of silver is the main catalyst for AYN's underperformance.

To believe that no manipulation exists, when other markets for all kinds of financial products have been exposed as being highly manipulated, is to belong to the Flat Earth Society - or simply burying one's head in the sand.

Silver has so many factors going for it, you'd be crazy to think that this precious metal, especially when the sun, stars and planets align, will not be hurtling towards triple figures - and beyond.

Imagine the shocks on traders' faces when it finally dawns that central banks have been leasing out gold to aid in both its and silver's suppression, as a way of protecting the criminal cartel and their beloved, counterfeited and corrupted, almighty dollar!

In other words, the gold we think is there, the silver paper-traded shorts which amount to double the amount of ACTUAL, PHYSICAL silver, ISN'T THERE.

It isn't there because the gold is gone (going) and there isn't that much actual silver in the entire world that it can be traded in that manipulatively corrupt way.

Ask yourselves: why do you think Germany isn't allowed to have its American-held gold audited? Is it because it isn't there? Why has America's Fort Knox gold not been thoroughly and openly audited in decades? What are they hiding?

When the next financial crash comes, it INEVITABLY will and will make 2008 seem like a virtual picnic, the only safe place to be will ge gold and silver: physical foremost, then stocks.

Parabolic, as dangerous as that word is, will not begin to describe silver's eventual ascent.

As long as AYN management do everything in their power to make AYN at least partially profitable at these relatively meager prices, we and they can then capitalize once the true fundamentals of silver come freely to the fore.

This is what AYN, at least for me, has all been about:

Selling silver at triple digit prices.
