Some of the juniors may do a 20x+. Don Durrett & Francis Hunt talk about a junior that was unprofitable at $35, break even at $39 and expected to be wildly profitable at $50 silver. Durrett claims it's a sure thing 15x, and maybe it is.
I'm not interested because we're old enough that we will take a reduced upside in exchange for zero downside. The CEO of that company may be a great guy, or he may be a sociopath who paid Durrett $20k to pump his bags and pull a Bre-X Same thing for the Dolly Varden Jeet.
The company may be a great value with great ore bodies, but I am inherently untrusting of anyone who spends so much money on paid self promotion, let alone an Indian.

Is there anything inherently wrong with juniors? NO. SOME of them will make their investors quite wealthy. Am I, as an old fuck willing to do a high risk gamble to try an win big? No. We do have Agnico, Hecla, First Majestic, Fraco Nevada, etc.
We'll be very lucky to see even a 5x gain. in a silver/gold bull market, but we also have almost zero chance of losing our principle.
The ONLY 100% sure thing is physical possesion of PMs.
