If it true the the gov’t is investigatin JP Morgan for their blatant suppression of silver prices, silver could be a better investment than gold. Much lower price, easier to carry around, and has MANY ‘green’ and industrial uses. I am very long both Au and Ag.

Don't get SHOT. I've seen some pretty serious security in the gold-bearing areas. There is a book out, though, called, "Where To Look For Gold In Alaska Without Getting Shot."
