Hi Ronbo,

I am doing ok. I was caught up in that MF Global fiasco. Have now received 89% back. Really took the wind out of my sails. Latest information I have read expects us to get 94% back due to the deal with JP Morgan/Chase to return 100 million of monies that were sent to them days before the bankrucpty. The rest (if any) will probably have to wait until bankrucpty runs its course.

I also made some decent money on some physical silver. Bought some of the double inverse ZSL to short silver. Bought it at a much higher price, but do to the ups and downs of silver have made no money. As a matter of fact they had a 4 for one, or a 5 for one reverse split last year which is never good. I don't think most know how the inverse works on a daily basis. I still get spam email touting double inverse ETF's all the time, but I don't know, if they know how they can grind you into the ground over a period of time. Trades has posted in the past that he has used them before, but more on a short term basis because of this inverse action. Anyhow I am about even on the ZSL.

Hope you are doing well Ronbo. New you were traveling to Russia and I believe maybe South America.

Lets see if silver can get to that $14 area, and maybe its time to get that physical back. Just maybe.
