I guess it is all perspective, right! The wife and I got 90% of our money out of the market about three weeks ago. We were out before the crash started. I guess we have learned to watch Obama and Congress and then pull out at the right time. Too bad we did not know what we know now back in 2008!

Lead may be down a little but tin is $17.99 now on rotometals.
I'm glad I bought a bunch of it when it was $7.99 before the dollar devaluation was in full swing.

I'll gladly pay higher lead prices to keep my 401K from nose diving.[smilie=b:
The market will rebound, where else is anyone going to invest, Italy, France or Germany, Japan, China, gold @ $1700? No, the market will come back as soon as the fear mongers stop all the BS.

lead is down nickel is down tin is down and gold is up , to be fair most everything else is down , including our fiat dollar , indeed it would be a good time to trade those soon to be worth even less dollars into something more solid , lead and tin is great !!! even zinc is below a buck ..wow ( when they hose it they hose it good don't they ? geez )

Now my lead stash is worth less money so is my 401K..

I borrowed from my 401 K when the price was way up and it has dropped every since. I almost have the loan paid off. That is luck. In other words, I sold stock high and am buying it back cheaper.... I hope it is not worthless when I need it though.
I figure we are going to need a wheel borrow full of hundreds to buy a loaf of bread soon. I'm going to start putting my billfold in my front pocket.

Yeah, but as they say you have the same number of shares! And, therefore the same number of Bullets (or Boolits).

Which is worth more to you, shares or bullets?
