Interesting read. Next step is to compare those numbers to ounces held in Gold and Silver ETF's

interesting indeed. Makes me wish I had $19 billion . . . I'd leave the 69+K and just buy 1,000,000 bars. How cool would that be?

Hopefully you'd have reinforced concrete to support the weight. But with that kind of money you could easily afford it. Can you imagine someone on RC offering free 1,000 oz. silver bars to the first 100 people who respond? Now that would be some serious wealth! For anyone contemplating such a gesture, it would cost roughly $1.7 million.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).

NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
