You're right DD investors can without my 'coaxing' as you call it get into silver or anything else they choose to. Silver long-term vs. MBN? No contest. Anyway, I am not speaking for you, or anyone else, only myself, so you can get off your high horse, mate. I only say that any company you invest it has counter party risks as MBN showed all too clearly, but you know that now don't you? Furthermore, if you think your MBN money is coming back to you in the not-too-distant future, continue living in the world you have created for yourself and get that substantial legal fund you'll need ready.
