    It's been over three hours so if it had been a computer glitch, it would have been corrected by now.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Just saw on NHK world news out of Tokyo, several major worldwide metal company stocks are down by 70-80%, although i didn't catch over what time span. I did however hear them say metals were down due to the weak economy and there were no indications/speculations as to when it might go back up

    I recommend hoarding it for at least another 4 years because after this past Tuesday we wont be seeing any recovery soon...unless China wants to keep loaning us money.

    Not sure why kitco has these problems, i have the app on my crackberry and yes second time this has happened. Why i always look at LME and CME on the computer just to make sure, and o/c a quick phone call to your buyers helps
