I Only invest what I can afford to lose. Like you I stay away from btc, it needs to pullback. the eth, ltc, and salt are doing fine. I've been stacking silver for 11 years, 30-40 oz every week. I go long because I would lose my a*s if I tried to play the short game, that is why I do not own ANY paper. I work during the day and the only market news I get is from you and a couple of others. Yes I know the risk.
