Many thanks

derryb

to the members who have over the years educated me on PMs and the wide range of investment opportunities available. I feel that I have learned enough to make wise investment decisions and at times try to return the favor by sharing my learned knowledge with others here. My apologies if my method of presentation has offended others, completely unintentional. Thanks guys, I'm much better off financially thanks to those that educated me and to those that made me take a second look at my opinions (which happens quite often). The most important thing I have learned here is to gather information from many sources and form my own sometimes misguided opinions. The debates that transpire here are most educational and I never view them as a winner or loser, only who i think is right and who i think is wrong based on my limited knowledge and research (and belief) concerning the topic.

...and thank you for sharing what others taught you!

You're completely welcome, sir! And you have done a phenomenal job in educating others, including me. I've learned a ton on these forums over the past decade. And I still vividly recall how others were ridiculing me and others for calling for gold way above $1000, etc, and $100 silver (though that hasn't happened yet).

I second that! This place is awesome. May the cooler heads prevail. This forum always helps me weigh the options more carefully, and that's a very good thing. I thank you all as well.

I was just recently thinking of the same type of thread, but your wording is much better than I could have done.

percyb

Thanks for your post.

Many wise forum members share good insights here.

Testing the financial markets by placing a toe or foot or leg in the waters
can provide some valuable lessons as well.

i like to again thank Terry too, for the initial Gold-Economic thread

and to the Mods here who have allowed us this little niche.

i glean most of my PM knowledge from here and enjoy whatever kinship exists as well as healthy debate by many of you.

I'd like to echo Derry's post. I have learned a great deal here, as well as having an outlet to interact with fellow metalbugs. The CU PM forum is my single favorite place to visit on the web....hands down.

I concur. One of the reasons I joined this forum is because the people here seem very level headed. They do not applaud the demise of the US economy, rather they hope policies are formed to support and grow it. However, at the same time, they are vigilant in their convictions that PM's are the best investment for the situation we've been dealt. Everyone here is top notch, and it's a pleasure
to visit this forum.

Beautifully put derryb! You are a big part of my PM education along with the other posters to your thread.

Fitting that you post at this time as we approach a huge paradigm shift in mine and your world!

Will not be the least surprised to one day see a CU PM thread linked on one of the popular sites such as safehaven.com or financialsense.com.

Yes, the Precious Metals Forum is flat out awesome. Thanks to all here that make it so.............MJ

Amen, don't buy an oz without reading this forum. When the rest of the country wakes on monday to shock, we have all been well prepared for what may lie ahead. Tx

I rarely post over here, but I do read ... a lot

Thank you Derry, and all the other fine posters that make this an awesome place to come and learn!

derryb's moves and timing over the past year usually were spot on. Much we can all learn from him.

With all the congratulatory's going on here today I feel that we are the minstrel playing on the deck of the Titanic.

I was a lurker for two years prior to joining CU. Usually I just read and try to absorb the rest of yours knowledge. I appreciate the humor as well as all the debates. Everyone who has responded to this thread so far has been more correct than any of the finanacial talking heads on CNBC. I was tring to describe this forum to a friend, it's like a bunch of like minded people gathering imformation and bringing it back to the group. Overall I trust what i hear here more than anywhere else. I hope for the best. Jason

gsa1fan

I agree this is a place for knowledge & eye opening reading!

I have been trying to wean myself to enjoy Bayleville more BUT ~ I still hang out here to much

I just try my best to read, learn, and enjoy! There are some amazing minds & a diverse gathering of PM bugs on this forum

Keep stacking! Peace, Tim

ksammut

One of my most favorite places on the net.

TV can keep its talking heads and pseudo experts, I will take the level headed

analysis of folks on this Forum. To be sure, one must do their own research, but

the collective wisdom and insight found here, open ones mind, to the economic

possibilities and realities of the day, whether they be for the good or for the bad.

Take a bow, Precious Metals Forum, you deserve it.

Ditto! Thanks one and all for an awesome resource!

Here's to precious metals

Stork

I'm mostly a lurker too, and have been since The Thread That Started it All. Just the occasional post, but I do read here and very much appreciate all the commentary. I have my inherent gold hoarding tendencies, and with the help of this (now) forum I have gently nurtured that over the last few years--much to the happiness of my current, more balanced, financial situation. Thank you all who don't lurk!

BTW, one advantage of living in Asia...it's noonish, gold is up about $30 to $1694, silver is up over $40, platinum is flat (was in the red earlier this morning) and palladium is down.

TIPPAHNUM

I too have to Thank all of the insightful minds and the shared knowledge about PM's on this forum...
Many of the brightest minds in Precious Metals visit and post here daily and share a refreshing view
of PM's and the economy as they see it. We are all very lucky to have the intelligence and resources
this forum exudes...

mrearlygold

Hoooooo, tumbs up to you all!

mhammerman

Good stuff. This forum has evolved into a very good resource and a nice opportunity to hear some different view points. Thanks for sharing, keep going.

Thanks everyone...

My favorite forum use to be Investorshub but in 2007 I found this forum and lurked for a year before joining.

Now this is my favorite forum

Thanks to all the regular posters here, including derryb ! And whether from Baleyville or Potter's field, or whatever side of the fence your perspective on all of these issue, from whom I have gained much needed education in economics, THANK YOU.

I don't contribute much to the PM forum because my knowledge on financial systems, etc are lacking. However, I do enjoy reading the posts. Some great banter here. I've learned some and its inspired me to learn more elsewhere. Thanks for the great posts, folks.
