heh, but that's where you're wrong

i have over 5000 shares in a gold mining company.

but, it's a penny stock my average buy is under 10 cents.

i can see it moving to over a $1 or eve 2-3 in a little while. it will be a nice return IF it happens.
for a couple hundred bucks, i'm willing to take that risk.

i would be too, i'm referring to having holdings in pure gold. it's always good to have investments in the industries supporting it though.
