someone told me: buy silver. so I did: MMN and LAF, in equal parts. MMN is now up 25%. LAF's mine suffered a typhoon and is down the same.

not sure if I should, but I'm going to take the profit on MMN, keeping $500 of shares, and I guess LAF will recover eventually.

biota is gradually crawling back up. I think that, dotcom booms aside, the real time you lose in this game is when you are forced to sell low.
