"The PMs are a very volatile and, at times, violent market. If you have the stomach for it, and you can maintain discipline, you can make quite a bit of money."

The gold and silver markets are wild and volatile. The only market that looks more volatile to me is natural gas futures. That's where some hedge fund trader just lost $4 billion recently. Trading natural gas seems crazy to me. That amounts to betting on the weather, in addition to all the other supply and demand factors.

I wouldn't trade natural gas, or anything that is dependent so much on acts of God. Gold is about as much as I can handle. I'm thinking about going into Uranium. But I'll have to look into it more before I get my feet wet.

PS Very good posts. I'm off to bed. All the best to you and yours--GGG

Not only the hedge fund, but Goldman Sachs and a couple of other of the "big guys".
