Today's SLV post by "defcon_dong" received five 5-star ratings (so far).

The comments from an anonymous reader in my last aluminum post inspired me to check something out. Imagine my surprise when I found this.

The following post is defcon_dong's oldest post on Yahoo. It would seem that he's not a fan of aluminum investing (Alcoa). I assume it is because he feels that only silver can protect against the ravages of inflation.
