So several have commented on little thread about silvers saying they just don't get the whole GLOOM and DOOM and buying metals.
This youtube vid.. explains very nicely about the fears that some have about our current economy, and how doing something.. anything makes us feel at least a little bit better about how we fit within it. WARNING its a long dern vid!
